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.

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.
