The Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) is the co-ordinating body of trade unions, and local Trades Councils, in Scotland. With 39 affiliated unions as of 2007, the STUC represents around 630,000 trade unionists.
The STUC is a completely separate and autonomous organisation from the Trades Union Congress (TUC) of Great Britain; indeed it was established in March 1897, in Glasgow, as a result of a political dispute with the TUC regarding political representation for the Labour movement (see Labour Party) [http://www.learningservices.gcal.ac.uk/archives/stuc/index.html] .
The current General Secretary of the STUC is Grahame Smith.
