Lewis Macdonald: 150th Anniversary of Aberdeen Trades Union Council—That
the Parliament recognises that Aberdeen Trades Union Council (ATUC) is celebrating its 150th
anniversary in 2018; understands that the ATUC, which was formed in 1868 as the first permanent
alliance of organised workers in different trades and industries in the north east, continues to
represent the interests of workers today; notes that the celebrations started with a civic reception,
which was hosted by the Lord Provost and city council at the Town House on 7 March and will
continue throughout the year at regular annual events, including International Women’s Day,
International Workers Memorial Day, the May Day and St Andrew's Day marches, with a civic
reception with Aberdeenshire Council in November; commends all who have been involved with
the ATUC throughout its long and illustrious history, and looks forward to many more years of
effective trade union organisation and representation in Aberdeen and North East Scotland.
