The Trades Council maintains fraternal/sororial relations with a range of organisations in the labour movement.  Predominantly our links are with trade unions, a number of whose branches are affiliated to us, but we also maintain affiliations ourselves to several democratic and campaigning organisations, and we support and publicise the work of a number of other organisations.
