  Labour council - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Labour Council (Canada, Australia), also known as Labor Council (USA), Trades Council or Trades Union Council (TUC) (UK), and Trades and Labour Council (TLC) or Industrial Council (Australia), is a representative labour federation at the district, city, region, or provincial or state level.
A labour council may also be based on a particular industry rather than geographical area, as for example, in the Maritime Council of Australia which co-ordinated the waterfront and maritime unions involved in the 1890 Australian Maritime Dispute.
Some Labor Councils restrict their membership to organisations which are affiliated with a particular national trade union body, such as many Labor Councils in the U.S.A. which are chartered from the AFL-CIO national confederation.
