PRINCE WILLIAM was in Liverpool last week and even Paul McCartney, but the city’s most important guests came with a different purpose.
Over 2,000 trade union delegates from over 110 countries came to the city to meet for the four-yearly congress of a union representing 500 trade unions and over 20 million workers.
