Public services are stretched to breaking point and it's frontline staff who bear the brunt.

Investment in these services is vital for all of us.

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

A warm welcome to the new STUC Women's Committee for 2025/26!

Looking forward to an active year ahead building on the Women Demand Better manifesto launch.

Keir Starmer tries to look tough - and exposes himself as a coward The government's immigration policy is in desperate need of a bold change in direction.

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK👇

1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK

2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves

3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries

Politicians, including those in the Labour UK Government at the upcoming budget, must take bold, decisive steps to redistribute wealth.

Otherwise more defeats and despair will be coming down the line.

Their inaction is a gift to the far-right.

Scotland’s gender pay gap revealed New data shows Scotland’s gender pay gap has jumped once again as the STUC calls the rise “staggering" and calls for urgent action.

📈 The gender pay gap in Scotland has increased by a staggering 20% since last year.

Employers need to take a look at themselves if they think they’re doing anywhere near enough to close the gap. #STUCWomen25

Scotland's workers can't wait. We need a proper industrial strategy for Scotland otherwise workers will pay with their livelihoods.
