Save Congress House Jobs


Save Congress House Jobs
The Issue
The decision to sell the Trades Union Congress’ headquarters, Congress House, leaves up to 40 workers’ jobs at risk. These are hardworking cleaners, chefs, conference assistants, reception and other building management roles; all of them union members in GMB or Unite.
The building itself is an historic site built by and for the trade union movement, with materials donated from unions globally and two important sculptures that will fall into the hands of private developers if the sale goes ahead.
Everyone who works in and visits Congress House will lose access to lunch, and use of one of the only trade union-run, and unionised, conference centres in the country.
Add your voice to the call to stop the sale and continue to consider alternatives. Save the jobs, and keep Congress House in the hands of the movement.
