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. Sign our petition to party leaders today
