Tameside was disaffiliated by the TUC earlier this year for the "crime" of convening a labour movement conference on Since then over 46 Trades Councils have passed resolutions condemning this decision. Over a third of the delegates at the annual conference of Trades Councils supported Tameside against the TUC.
