the trade union co-ordinating group is being launched to give the trade unions a new and stronger voice in parliament. as many unions increasingly co-ordinate their industrial and political campaigning outside of parliament, there is an urgent need to co-ordinate their representation within parliament. the tu co-ordinating group is being launched to bring together trade unions and mps to ensure that the concerns and aspirations of trade unionists are given a new and stronger co-ordinated political voice. all welcome.
