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. |
