The strength of the ODTUC lies in strong union branches and stewards committees.
Working with delegates elected by local union branches the trades union council seeks to increase the impact of campaigns in defence of working people in Oxford and where possible across Oxfordshire.

With the UNISON Health branch and Keep Our NHS Public activists we've campaigned and won the reopening of our community hospital and maintained jobs there.

In co-operation with the UNITE BMW branch we've organised protests against job losses and meetings with French car workers and a talk on the impact on 'lean production' on workers lives.

Working with delegates from teachers' unions, NUT and NAS-UWT and the campaign group Anti-Acadamies Alliance we've challenged plans to break up community based state education in Oxford.

With the CWU in defence of jobs and pensions and a publicly owned mail service.

The ODTUC also strongly promotes trade union education, formally through shop stewards training at Ruskin College, and through supporting one off events such as the 'Real Oxford Unions Lectures'.

We have also supported Oxford City Councillors in their call for a 'living wage' in the city of at least £7 per hour.

From anti-fascist campaigns to womens rights activities and defence of migrant workers to international campaigns in support of the Palestinians the ODTUC participates in the life of our city. Talk to your Branch Secretary and make sure your local branch is affiliated and sends through delegates.
   


The Trades Union Council meets on the first Thurs of the month at 7pm in Oxford Townhall. .

Established 1887 the Oxford and District TUC is a democratic organisation made up of volunteers, delegated by union branches, who organise practical solidarity with working people in our district, across the country and internationally. We support trade union education and back campaigns - for instance - for equal treatment of people irrespective of age, gender, ethnicity and sexual orientation, against cuts in services, for a living wage for everyone, against workplace bullying, for decent pensions and against imperialist wars.
