The Labour Representation Committee (LRC) is a movement formed by trade unionists and socialists to fight for the principle of labour representation within the Labour Party, the unions and parliament. As of 2005, four unions - the post and telecom workers' CWU, the railworkers' RMT, the firefighters' FBU, and the bakers - are affiliated.
Workers' Liberty had been arguing and campaigning for a new Labour Representation Committee since 1998, so when the present LRC was formed in July 2004 we naturally gave it full support. Individuals, trade union branches, CLPs and other organisations can join the LRC.
