How Trades Union Councils work
Delegates elected by trade union branches which meet or have members working or living within the area meet as Trades Union Councils.
A union branch will normally affiliate to the trades union council in the area in which it meets. Each branch will then send delegates to the trades union council's meetings. These branches pay an affiliation fee. Our trades union council is open to all trade unionists to attend although only delegates can vote.
Delegates elect officers from amongst themselves to represent the views and priorities of the constituent branches and to take responsibility for working for and supporting the policy of Congress and the TUC General Council. This is because trades union councils are registered with the TUC, rather than being entirely independent bodies.
