@scottishtuc.bsky.socialScotland needs an accessible and publicly owned bus network.
To see the Cabinet Secretary prioritise meeting profit making operators over workers in the development of the Better Buses legislation was troubling.

@scottishtuc.bsky.socialTrade unions have engaged in good faith with the Scottish Government on public service reform.
Workers livelihoods are at stake. We won't condone "reform" that means government cuts from compulsory redundancies.

@closethegap.org.ukReposted by @scottishtuc.bsky.socialYoung mothers are ambitious and determined but held back from paid work and better futures by unfair systems.
Our new report with @savechildrensco.bsky.social calls for action so young mothers can access, sustain and progress in fair work.

@scottishtuc.bsky.socialStatement on behalf of UNITE, GMB and UNISON from the STUC:
@scottishtuc.bsky.socialIf โreformโ is to remove thousands of people from the public sector - potentially up to 20,000 over the next five years - then the Scottish Government should call it what it is: a cut.
And itโs cuts we are opposed to.
@scottishtuc.bsky.socialIt's absolutely for the birds to think local government reform can be achieved without the substantial investment required to bring about change in our communities.
Unions will play our part but reform cannot act as a smokescreen for cuts.
@scottishtuc.bsky.socialRail unions are correct.
It would be unconscionable for the Scottish Government to hand over taxpayer cash to a company deeply involved in the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements.
@scottishtuc.bsky.socialThis week, STUC General Secretary Roz Foyer writes in @heraldscotland.bsky.social on music, politics and free expression.
Artists have always used their platforms to challenge injustice. Speaking out on Palestine should not be treated as a red line.
@nasuwtscotland.bsky.socialReposted by @scottishtuc.bsky.socialItโs extremely upsetting to know someone youโve taught has taken their own life. It affects the whole community deeply.
The need for early intervention is clear, not just for pupils but also for teachers and staff...
@scottishtuc.bsky.socialWorkers are rightly worried about local services given the cuts proposed from the Scottish Government
A fairer Council Tax system ensures we raise the revenue needed to support the public services we all rely on

@scottishtuc.bsky.socialToday is International Equal Pay Day.
The 10% Gender Pay Gap in Scotland is a complete failure of the state.
Governments and employers need to seriously buck their ideas up if we are to eliminate the gap.

@scottishtuc.bsky.socialThis week, STUC General Secretary Roz Foyer writes in @heraldscotland.bsky.social on Scotlandโs ยฃ2 bus fare cap and the bigger question of who controls our bus network.
@scottishtuc.bsky.socialWorking class people across Scotland are fighting back against the far-right.
From Maryhill to Dumfries, here are the stories of those in our communities seeking to show solidarity over scapegoating.
@scottishtuc.bsky.socialWomenโs safety cannot become an expendable pawn in attempts to inflame tensions over race, sex or gender. It's abusive, predatory men โ those who control, intimidate and harm women โ who are responsible for compromising that safety.
