Leaving the EU does not mean weakening alliances with European unions – they will be more important than ever.

The TUC hosted a meeting of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) at Congress House in London on 11 July.

The meeting, which was made up of leaders from trade unions and confederations from throughout Europe, was their first chance to discuss the challenges faced by workers in Britain and the European Union following the UK’s vote to leave the European Union (EU), known as Brexit.
