The Trade Union Congress (TUC) is a national organization in the United Kingdom that represents the interests of trade unions. Founded in 1868, it serves as a central body for various unions, advocating for workers' rights, fair wages, and better working conditions. The TUC plays a crucial role in influencing government policies and legislation related to labor issues. The TUC organizes events, campaigns, and training programs to support union members and promote solidarity among workers. It also engages in discussions with employers and policymakers to address workplace challenges and improve labor standards across different sectors.
