The second Troublemakers At Work Conference took place on 5 October 2024 in Manchester city centre.Troublemakers general logo we're bringing workers together

The conference brought together hundreds of workers to share experiences and learn from each other: from organising from scratch or reviving a moribund union to resisting a rotten deal or winning a strike.

If you are organising at work or struggling to overcome the barriers to doing so, this conference was for you.

Our conferences are participatory. Our point of view is of the union rank and file, meaning grassroots workers rather than those employed by unions. The unions belong to the workers – we don’t need people telling us what to think or do.

Troublemakers At Work

Troublemakers At Work is a network of rank-and-file trade unionists in Britain, launched after a conference in Manchester in July 2023. We are organised by a democratic committee, without affiliation to political parties or particular unions. We support each other in organising to win change in our workplaces and unions.
