WOMEN across four nations joined a virtual gathering of the TUC women’s council of the Isles on the morning of February 19.  

This long-established annual meeting of women’s committees of the trade-union centres of Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England, saw its first virtual networking event.

The Scottish TUC is the 2021 host, and hopes to be able to hold a physical event in November when the world’s eyes are on Glasgow for COP26.
