John Evans
General Secretary, Trade Union Advisory Committee to the OECD

Mr. Evans is a British national who, prior to joining TUAC, worked as Research Officer in the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) in Brussels. His previous appointments include Industry Secretary at the International Federation of Commercial, Clerical and Technical Employees (FIET) in Geneva and Assistant in the Economic Department of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) in London. Mr. Evans has a degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from Oxford University (1973).

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. It comprises 56 national trade union centres in OECD Member countries, and thus represents some 70 million organised workers.
