The Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC) serves as the official trade union partner to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). It acts as a bridge between the labor movement and OECD policy discussions, ensuring that workers’ voices are represented in global economic and social policy debates.
TUAC’s mission is to advocate for inclusive and fair economic growth that benefits working people. By coordinating with national trade union centers and global federations, it provides policy input on employment, wages, social protection, corporate governance, and sustainable development.
As an advisory body, TUAC participates in OECD committees, influencing reports, guidelines, and recommendations. Through consultations and research contributions, it helps shape international standards that promote decent work and social justice within the global economy.
“TUAC represents the voice of workers in OECD policymaking, ensuring that economic progress serves social well-being.”
TUAC is the OECD’s trade union arm, working globally to align economic policy with workers’ rights, fair growth, and sustainable development.
