Our campaigns
Every day, we campaign for more and better jobs, and a more equal, more prosperous country. Join us.
Protect the right to strike
The government’s draconian Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act was forced through Parliament by the government. But the campaign to protect the right to strike continues.
Our Work Matters
The Our Work Matters is a collaborative joint union campaign led by members of trade unions who represent outsourced workers and supported by the TUC.
Fight for £15
We're calling for a return to normal wage growth, underpinned by a plan to raise the minimum wage to £15 an hour so that no workers are left behind.
TUC Anti-Racism Taskforce
The Taskforce is leading the trade union movement’s renewed campaign against racism at work. It will engage with Black workers across the UK to hear about their experiences. And it will produce recommendations on tackling structural racism in the UK, in workplaces and in unions themselves.
Covid-19 Inquiry
We will be fighting to ensure the inquiry looks in depth on how the government failed to engage with unions effectively in decision making and the impact that had on PPE and the implementation, management and enforcement of workplace safety measures.

Stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine
The TUC condemns the illegal invasion of a sovereign nation and calls for Russia to respect Ukrainian territorial integrity. We join the global union movement in calling for peace and urge all governments to reach a negotiated solution through diplomacy.

Winning flex for all
Four out of five workers in Britain want flexible working, yet too many are missing out. The Government must ensure all workers have stronger legal rights to flexibility.

Climate emergency: winning a Just Transition
We need timely, worker-friendly climate action to protect our planet and future-proof our jobs.

Guarantee decent sick pay for every worker #SickPayForAll
At a time of skyrocketing cases, fixing statutory sick pay can prevent the spread of the virus and ensure millions can get paid to quarantine safely at home. Everyone has the right to decent sick pay.
