Shavanah Taj, Wales TUC General Secretary

  • The Wales Trades Union Congress – the body that brings together trades unions representing around 400,000 workers in Wales – will mark 50 years since its first meeting.
  • Wales TUC has been a staunch supporter of devolution, and this – along with the steel crisis, public sector pay and safety in schools – will be debated at their Congress in Llandudno next week.
  • Wales TUC General Secretary Shavanah Taj, TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak, and the First Minister, Vaughan Gething, will address Congress.
  • Shavanah Taj will highlight how more than a decade of austerity has stifled wage growth and left public services severely underfunded.

Wales Trades Union Congress (Wales TUC) will hold its biennial Congress in Llandudno next week (21-23 May 2024).

The event will bring together more than 200 trade union leaders from across Wales to debate the issues that matter most to workers in Wales, including:

  • Port Talbot and the future of the steel industry
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its role in the workplace
  • Safety of staff in schools
  • Public transport and rail nationalisation
  • Devolution, including devolution of criminal justice
  • Sexual harassment in the workplace

The debates will take place across the three days and agree the priorities for the Wales TUC for the following two years.
