Its not oil and gas or green energy, its both.

The oil and gas workers of today will go on to become the green energy workers of tomorrow. These workers must be protected if we are to realise a green and just transition.

£6.40 is not enough to live on.

We believe every worker should receive a Real Living Wage and apprentices are workers too.

That's why we support @NUSScotland and @NSoApprentices' call for a Real Living Wage for apprentices.

Join the call: https://t.co/TTLcR0v6uC
