TUC Congress 2024

WGGB is once again at TUC Congress, taking place this year from 8-11 September in Brighton.

WGGB General Secretary Ellie Peers seconded an NUJ motion on 10 September, ‘Restoring trust in the media’, which passed.

She spoke about how Big Tech companies must be held to account – on disinformation and also AI and creators’ rights – and the importance of our public service broadcasters like the BBC.

Congress is the policy-making body of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) and motions are proposed and discussed to form the basis of the TUC’s work for the next year.

The high-profile event – widely regarded as the first big set piece occasion after the summer break and before the party conference season – is usually attended by around 600 delegates from 48 affiliated unions. It sees around 3,000 people take part in debates, the fringe, exhibits or to report on the proceedings.

You can watch the livestream here.

You can find out the programme of business and read reports and documents on the special Congress 2024 website.
