The 150th annual TUC Congress 2018 took place in Manchester during 9-12 September.
One hundred and fifty years ago, our movement gathered for its first ever Congress in Manchester. We return to this great city this year to celebrate a century and a half of working together to change the world of work for good.
The best way to mark the TUC’s 150th birthday is by making our movement fit for the next 150 years. The world of work is changing fast, and we need to adapt. A new generation need our help to win workplace justice. And our vital public services need us to stand up against privatisation
and for proper funding.
If the history of our movement teaches us one thing, it is that trade unionists never sit back and accept the status quo. Over the last one hundred and fifty years, we have always stepped up and won for working people – and we will again
Congress was held in Manchester. Congress is where the movement decides its priorities for the coming year, and what the TUC should do to achieve them. Each union sends delegates and raises issues for discussion and debate. 2018 was an especially exciting Congress, as it was TUC's 150th anniversary year.
