TUAC was founded in 1948, and following the creation of the OECD, it was recognised as an independent body entitled to represent the views of trade unions vis‑à‑vis the OECD. Along with the International Trade Union Confederation and the Global Union Federations it is a member of the Council of Global Unions and also coordinates union input to the G8 process. It comprises 58 national trade union centres in OECD Member countries, and thus represents some 66 million organised workers.
