This week's meeting of the Trades Union Congress has focused attention on the relationship between the T.U.C. and the unions. Where does power really lie? How far does the old relationship need revising? Is the present structure adequate to safeguard the rights of individual trade unionists as well as dealing with the industrial and political problems of the day?
These are some of the questions raised in tonight's programme, which is introduced by John Freeman, Editor of the New Statesman.
Those taking part include:
George Woodcock, General Secretary of the T.U.C.
B. C. Roberts, Reader in Industrial Relations, London School of Economics
