The leader of the TUC is the General Secretary.
The UK Association of Organised Trades , founded in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, in 1866, was the forerunner of the (TUC). The Sheffield Trades Council , which is still active today, was founded in 1871. (Sheffield's early success in steel production had involved long working hours, in unpleasant conditions which offered little or no safety protection. It was no coincidence, therefore, that the city became one of the main centres for trade union organisation and agitation in the UK. By the 1860s, the inevitable conflict between capital and labour provoked the so-called " Sheffield Outrages").
