Take your place at TUC Congress 2021 and help build for dignity at work for everyone. Join us online. |
"While we’ll be meeting online again, this is our showpiece event and our primary democratic forum. And delegates will be debating a range of incredibly important issues.
I’m hugely proud of the role our movement has played during the pandemic. We’ve won important gains for working people. Highlighted the urgent need for investment in jobs, services and communities. And fought for equality to be hardwired into the recovery.
The pandemic has exposed, and exacerbated, profound inequalities in our society. And trade unions must do everything we can to build a better future for all working people, including Black workers, women, LGBT+ workers and disabled workers. This is our chance to come together and debate our priorities for the crucial year ahead. We will hear from delegates, from union general secretaries, and from the leader of the opposition. So join us from 12-14 September - and together let’s win dignity, decency and equality for all working people."
Frances O’Grady
TUC General Secretary
As we recover from the pandemic, how do we build a world of work that gives everyone the dignity and fairness we deserve?
