Unite represents 15,000+ health & social care workers in Scotland, and won't allow them to be collateral damage.

Reducing health boards does not reduce workload or staffing pressures. 1 in 9 hospital beds were occupied because of delayed discharges.

Delayed discharges could be avoided and redirected towards more effective patient support if social care services in Scotland were properly and adequately funded.

Our answer is investment in health and social care, not “slash and burn” cuts.

"There needs to be a concrete plan for commensurate jobs for workers currently working in the North Sea. We cannot let go of one rope until we have hold of another.”

Responding to the announcement by BP to sell their North Sea oil & gas business, general secretary Sharon Graham said:

“The workers who work for BP’s North Sea business must put be at the heart of all discussions going forward. Jobs, pay & conditions must be protected."

"In my conversations with the Prime Minister, I have been very clear that whilst we of course support net zero, we cannot have a jobless transition or offshore our carbon responsibilities."

38 years ago, 167 workers lost their lives on Piper Alpha.

For trade unionists, remembering Piper Alpha is not history. It's a reminder that every workplace needs to be able to speak out without fear.

We must continue to organise and fight for safe workplaces for all.

We refuse to let racist violence and intimidation divide our communities.

Our streets belong to all of us, not the far right.

Join us in Edinburgh this Saturday to stand together against racism and hate.

38 years service and too young to retire. A young worker unsure what comes next. A family with 3 kids.

Each job has its own story, and at Shieldhall, 80 are at risk.

It doesn't have to be this way.

⏰ Aberdeen South result is a huge wake up call on oil and gas policies.

"Just why?" asks Jamie.

Following his mum to work in the coffin factory, and working alongside his dad, his skill and passion for the job will be lost from Shieldhall if closure happens.

We say it doesn’t have to be this way.

Ross is 38 years in one workplace. Does that loyalty go both ways?

After nearly four decades, he is being asked to start again, 4 years from retirement.

We say it doesn’t have to be this way.

Peter and his wife both work at the Shieldhall coffin factory. They have three kids. Now they face redundancy.

As Peter asks @CoopFuneralcare - what should they tell their kids?

Solidarity to the strikers on the FPF1 & Alba FSU.

Ithaca Energy excluded Bilfinger employees from the bonus scheme, but Ithaca can easily afford it.

How easily?

Ithaca paid out £378m to shareholders in 2025. Workers deserve 0.0038% of what shareholders got.

A huge thank you to trade unionists across Scotland who made this past week so powerful and visible.

From International Workers’ Memorial Day to May Day rallies, your presence reminds everyone that working people deserve dignity, fair pay, & safe conditions.

Solidarity. Always.

[Unite Scotland @UniteScotland]

This May Day, we celebrate the resilience of working people across Scotland and around the world.
