Labour Matters is a product of the Trade Union Research Collective. The overall goal of TURC is to promote greater understanding of the positive role unions play in the workplace, in the labour market, in the community, and in the wider society.

Its aim is to produce and disseminate high quality research presented in an accessible fashion; provide a forum for commentary and fact sheets on union-related issues; and provide a platform for sharing research of interest to unions and the broader community.
