Some great photos of Scottish Women's Committee delegates at TUC Congress, representing working women across Scotland and making sure our experiences, priorities and demands are heard. When we stand together, we can win #JobsPayConditions #UnityWorks

For World Suicide Prevention Day, ATUC and affiliated trade union branches laid wreaths and flowers at the Choose Life memorial tree in Hazelhead Park, remembering those we have lost to suicide and standing in solidarity with those affected.

Unite represents 15,000+ health & social care workers in Scotland, and won't allow them to be collateral damage. Reducing health boards does not reduce workload or staffing pressures. 1 in 9 hospital beds were occupied because of delayed discharges. 1/2
Scottish Health workers won’t be ‘collateral damage’ warns Unite in response to programme for government. Unite warns it will consider ‘all options’ in opposition to swingeing public sector cuts.

Delayed discharges could be avoided and redirected towards more effective patient support if social care services in Scotland were properly and adequately funded. Our answer is investment in health and social care, not “slash and burn” cuts. 2/2

38 years ago, 167 workers lost their lives on Piper Alpha. For trade unionists, remembering Piper Alpha is not history. It's a reminder that every workplace needs to be able to speak out without fear. We must continue to organise and fight for safe workplaces for all.

38 years service and too young to retire. A young worker unsure what comes next. A family with 3 kids. Each job has its own story, and at Shieldhall, 80 are at risk. It doesn't have to be this way. Sign the petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

⏰ Aberdeen South result is a huge wake up call on oil and gas policies. "Unite will not accept a jobless transition. Until there is a credible plan for jobs, the anti-North Sea policies must be consigned to the bin" @UniteSharon unitetheunion.org/news-event…

"Just why?" asks Jamie. Following his mum to work in the coffin factory, and working alongside his dad, his skill and passion for the job will be lost from Shieldhall if closure happens. We say it doesn’t have to be this way. Sign their petition here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

Ross is 38 years in one workplace. Does that loyalty go both ways? After nearly four decades, he is being asked to start again, 4 years from retirement. We say it doesn’t have to be this way. Sign their petition here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

Solidarity to the strikers on the FPF1 & Alba FSU. Ithaca Energy excluded Bilfinger employees from the bonus scheme, but Ithaca can easily afford it. How easily? Ithaca paid out £378m to shareholders in 2025. Workers deserve 0.0038% of what shareholders got.
