1/ There’s lots to welcome in the govt’s industrial strategy unveiled this week, as well as areas where we’ll be pressing the government to think more deeply about workforce plans for the key sectors identified.
Not every honour feels deserved, but there can be no doubt that @FernsSue, Senior Deputy General Secretary @ProspectUnion, fully deserves her OBE. She always adds substance and wisdom to any debate. A committed, pragmatic trade unionist to her core and a lovely person to boot.
We are proud to work with @ScottishTUC to contribute to the Freelance and Forgotten report.
These findings will be at the heart of our lobbying and campaigning on the Culture Fair Work Taskforce and directly with Government.
Fantastic event this evening by @SSEheritage to celebrate the Highland Grid, very proud to honour the many thousands of @ProspectUnion , EPEA and EMA members who have contributed to building and maintaining the critical infrastructure , in the past present and future
Solidarity with our union colleagues in @SPRenewables@ScottishPower parent company @iberdrola who'll be taking strike action. Large profits must = Decent pay rises.
Congratulations to our own Richard Hardy @UnionTyke who has been elected President of the @ScottishTUC at their conference in Dundee

Along with @pcs_union & @FDA_union, we are calling on the Ministry of Defence to take urgent action on sexual harassment.
Nine months on since 60 women wrote to the MoD to allege sexual assault, harassment and abuse at the hands of colleagues – and nothing has changed for staff.
