Jackson next found work in the education department of the Trades Union Congress, and in 1964 became its Director of Studies. He wrote a report, "Training Shop Stewards", which became the official TUC line on the shop stewards' movement, and led to new approaches to training trade unionists. He became head of the TUC's Education Department in 1974, and in 1984 was a co-founder of the TUC National College, in Hornsey.[1][2]
