Our 2025 conference date is announced!

Saturday 26 July 2025

Conference details. Buy your tickets.

Right in the centre of Manchester at Central Hall, Oldham Street, Manchester, M1 1JQ and nearby Sasha’s Hotel at 12 Tib St, Back Piccadilly, M4 1SH.

The conference will bring 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 is 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.

To be kept updated please sign up for updates, or better still, become a member or get your organisation to affiliate. If you’d like to volunteer to help organise the conference (you’d be very welcome!) see here for more information.

Our current leaflet is here. If you want printed copies you can request them here.

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.

The second Troublemakers At Work Conference took place on 5 October 2024 in Manchester city centre.
