For nearly 100 years our area had its own local Trade Union Council

The local TUC closed in the year 2000. With the growth of jobs and trade union membership in the area a group of us felt that it was time for the many trade union members to have a united voice on the issues that affect us and our families. We needed to share our experiences and knowledge and a local TUC was the ideal organisation to advance our cause.

It was time to re-Launch Our Local TUC! -  IT WAS TIME FOR A UNITED VOICE! 

Our inaugural meeting was held on 13th February 2009 at the ROYAL OAK, Victoria Street, Grimsby

DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE OVER 20,000 TRADE UNION MEMBERS IN THE SOUTH HUMBERBANK AREA!

Come and meet the committee find out who we are and when we were formed and why.

Yorkshire and the Humber TUC Regional Council

 

Trades Unions and Trades Councils, (who represent trade union interest in local communities), are represented on the Yorkshire and the Humber Regional Council and its Executive Committee. Delegates from these bodies are nominated to the Annual Meeting of the Regional Council, which is held every year and which formulates the policy for the coming year. Delegates can also be nominated for seats on the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee meets regularly throughout the year.

The main aims of Yorkshire and the Humber TUC are:

·         to make representations to bodies at various levels throughout the Yorkshire and the Humber region, including government departments, local authorities and other bodies who work on economic, political, industrial, social or environmental questions

·         to appoint or nominate representatives to bodies appropriate to the work of the Regional TUC;  to service such representatives and to receive and consider reports from them regarding the activities of the bodies of which they are members; to promote publicly the policies of the Trades Union Congress within Yorkshire and the Humber;  

·         to keep the TUC informed of developments in Yorkshire and the Humber;

·         to give effect to policies adopted by the Trades Union Congress and to keep trades unionists in Yorkshire and the Humber informed of these policies;

·         to promote the exchange of information between unions in Yorkshire and the Humber;

·         to assist unions in the recruitment of members in Yorkshire and the Humber;

·         to encourage the development of Trades Union Councils and to encourage unions to take part in the work of these Trades Union Councils in Yorkshire and the Humber;

·         to campaign on issues which affect trade union members.

·         Black Members
