Archbishop Justin Welby is to address the TUC meeting in Manchester. He would not be the first such clergyman to address the TUC. For example, in 1879 Archbishop Tait Campbell did so as did George Carey back in 1997.

The TUC and the church have a history together empowering those workers facing atrocious or unjust working conditions. Here is a link to my article on HHubPagesubPages about it.
