Welcome to the Chelmsford & District Trades Union Council website
Chelmsford & District Trades Union Council is affiliated to the Trades Union Congress (TUC) and the Essex County Association of Trades Councils.
Its membership is made up of delegates from mainly locally based trade union branches that are affiliated to the TUC. Its aim is to promote the objectives of the TUC and to defend the interests of trade unionists and their families within Chelmsford.
We have a wide range of content on this site, including sections on labour and trade union boycotts, the history of the union and labour movements, working class culture, songs, poetry and literature, and politics, equal opportunities and workplace information, as well as many links to the wider labour movement.

APRIL MEETING
4 April 2013:
At all meetings of Chelmsford TUC workplace issues are discussed and at the April meeting these included delegates’ experiences in health and education.
Concern was expressed at the way in which the NHS is having to make ‘savings’, how the private sector is being increasingly absorbed into the NHS, and the incurred costs of this service to the taxpayer. No less worrying to delegates is the increasing number of schools being run by the private sector. It was noted that these schools do not have to follow the national curriculum and that teachers in academies and ‘free schools’ do not have to have had any formal training to teach.
