Paul Nowak, general secretary of the TUC speaking at the TUC congress at the ACC Liverpool, September 11, 2023
TUC general secretary Paul Nowak will call on unions to “roll up our sleeves and get involved” in creating a new economic settlement today.
The TUC leader will use his keynote address to the first TUC in 15 years held under a Labour government to argue that “Keir Starmer and this government have the interests of working people at heart in a way the Conservatives never did, and never will.”
Unions cannot expect Labour to undo 14 years of Tory damage overnight, he is set to stress, but can take a proactive role in “rebuilding our public services … recasting Britain’s industrial future … [and to] face down those on the right who wish to sow division and discord.”
