Liverpool Trade Union Council

EDM number 1250 in 1997-98, proposed by Robert N Wareing on 27/04/1998.

That this House congratulates the Liverpool Trade Union Council on its 150th anniversary; notes that, born in the year of revolutions, 1848, it was the first trades council to be formed in the United Kingdom, and that throughout its existence it has been a leader in the struggle of working people for better working and living conditions; recognises its role in fighting for social justice and progress, its promotion of the interests of working people in the struggle against bad employers from the time of the London building trades lock-out of 1859, through the great transport strike of 1911, to the Liverpool dock workers lock-out of 1995 to 1997; also recognises its contribution to the life of the City of Liverpool; and expresses the hope that it will long continue as a leader in the struggle for a just society.

This motion has been signed by a total of 20 MPs.
