STROUD AND DISTRICT
TRADES COUNCIL
SCROLL DOWN FOR OUR LATEST NEWS
DOES YOUR UNION HAVE A BRANCH IN STROUD
OR THE SURROUNDING DISTRICT
(Cirencester, Dursley, Nailsworth, Tetbury, Wotton-under-Edge or anywhere else nearby)?
Local trade unionists in Stroud District have set up a Trades Council so that unions in the area can exchange information, join together in campaigning, support industrial disputes and work to improve life for people in our areas.
We need other trade unionists to join us and trade union branches to affilitate. WE NEED YOU!
If you are interested, or think that your union branch would be, please contact us:
We are meeting monthly and any participation including willingness to support local campaigns and local workers in dispute is welcome.
