How we work

Introduction

 GLATUC, as the specific London wide pan-TU body, has fought for the interests of London workers- both at work and in the community. Affiliated to it are all the London trades councils. We give support to local borough Trades Councils and co-ordinate campaigning work for example, we led the battle to regain London wide democratic government when Thatcher abolished the GLC in 1986 until the setting up of the GLC in 2000.

We work to maintain or re-build trades councils and in recent years have helped re-build several trades councils.

The London Trades Council has been succeeded by the Greater London Association of Trades Councils as the representative trade union body for the whole of London.
