Voluntary organization of trade unions, founded in the UK in 1868, in which delegates of affiliated unions meet annually to consider matters affecting their members. In 1997 there were 67 affiliated unions, with an aggregate membership of 6 million.

30% of the employees in the UK belong to trade unions (25% in the private sector, and 60% in the public sector), compared to 14% in the USA and 8% in France.

In September 1993 John Monks became the TUC's general secretary.
