SIGN THE PETITION:

No more Creative Standards - Cement Fair Work in the Art of Scotland

We are calling on all political parties to put Fair Work in the creative industries at the heart of their election campaigns.

What does this mean in practice?

Following the work carried out by the STUC and Trade Unions within Scotland’s Culture Sector, the Scottish Government commissioned two Independent reports into Creative Scotland and Fair Work within Scotland’s cultural and creative industries.

These reports proposed a combined total of 52 recommendations to improve the conditions of the estimated 90,000 workers across Scotland.

None of the 52 recommendations were enacted before the Scottish Parliament session ended for the 2026 elections.

We need all political parties to pledge the immediate adaption and implementation of the recommendations as soon as possible following the election period.

Better Buses National Hustings

Thursday, 23 April 2026, 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm

Come and quiz candidates from Scotland’s main political parties about what they plan to do to deliver better buses.

Buses are lifeline for so many communities across Scotland.

But in many places fares are far too expensive, vital routes have been cut and people just don’t have access to the services they need.

Ahead of the Scottish Parliament election on Thursday 7 May, come and quiz candidates from Scotland’s main political parties about what they plan to do to deliver better buses.
