Greater London Association of Trade Union Councils

Greater London Association of Trade Union Councils (GLATUC)[1] is the largest County Association of Trades (Union) Councils in the Uk and covers the Greater London area.

[2][3] GLATUC is the successor body to the London Trades Council (LTC), which was founded in 1860.

GLATUC succeeded both these organisations in 1974, originally called the Greater London Association of Trades Councils.

In 1985, on the 125th anniversary of the foundation of the London Trades Council, the GLATC (as it was then known) published its official history in a booklet largely compiled and written by Phil Katz of the Cities of London & Westminster Trades Council and an Assistant Secretary of the Association.

GLATUC is made up of delegates from the trades councils covering the London boroughs.
