TUAC
The Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC) to the OECD is an interface for labour unions with the OECD. It is an international trade union organisation which has consultative status with the OECD and its various committees.
TUAC was founded in 1948 as a trade union advisory committee for the
European Recovery Programme - the Marshall Plan. Through regular
consultations with various OECD committees, the OECD secretariat and
member governments, TUAC coordinates and represents the views of the
trade union movement in the industrialized countries and ensures that
global markets are balanced by an effective social dimension. It is
also responsible for coordinating the trade union input to the annual
G8 economic summits and employment conferences.
TUAC's
affiliates consist of over 56 national trade union centers in the 30
OECD industrialized countries which together represent some 70 million
workers.
TUAC is part of the institutional set-up of the
OECD Guidelines together with the National Contact Points (NCPs), the
Investment Committee and BIAC. If there is a dispute about the
applicability of the Guidelines, TUAC may ask the Investment Committee
to consider an amendment to the text or a clarification of a particular
clause.
