Join a union

Fair Care for Scotland
The National Care Service Bill will do little to alleviate the crisis in the health and social care sector. Moreover, the Bill undermines local accountability; fails to address fundamental issues of profit and ownership in the sector; does not address trade union collective bargaining rights; and risks further outsourcing and undermining of Fair Work.
Justice for Sheku Bayoh
Sheku Bayoh died in Scotland in 2015 after he was held face down by up to nine police officers after subjecting him to CS spray, pepper spray, batons, handcuffs and leg restraints. The STUC and our affiliated trade unions fully support the Justice for Sheku Bayoh campaign.
Protest against the far right
Join us on 7 September at George Sq in Glasgow to stand in solidarity with communities across the UK who have been subjected to violence and intimidation orchestrated by far-right groups.
Just Transition
Tackling the climate emergency will require action across every part of Scotland, including every workplace and sector. Your experience and skills are essential to identify what support will be needed to protect and improve your jobs. The move to a net zero economy is an opportunity to create good work, to rebuild our communities, to get cleaner air and build warmer homes.
