The mask slips and For Women Scotland are revealed as an anti-trade union fringe group. NASUWT policy is debated and voted on by our serving teacher members. Who do FWS represent? Not the majority of women in Scotland who agree that #TransRightsAreHumanRights #STUC #UnitedWorkers

How about we tax some of the wealth that our billionaire overlords have accumulated at record levels in recent years..? BBC News - Reeves warns of harder choices to come as she hints at tax rises www.bbc.com/news/article...

Younger generations need to know that their lives won’t get better with crypto grifts, or oppressing others. Their lives will get better by joining trade unions and forming solidarity with others. A strong trade union movement is one of the best lines of defence a country has against fascism.

The campaign will be holding a launch event in Glasgow on Tuesday 7th October. Tickets: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/women-agai...

Proud to be one of them. Add your name here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/wo...

Wherever the far right mobilise to try and bring racism, hatred and division, we will come together to show that our communities stand united against racism and the far right, that we stand with victims and survivors, and for justice for all women. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/wo...

Three of the @scottishtucwc.bsky.social in attendance today at Falkirk showing solidarity with #FalkirkforAll anti-racists. The trade union movement opposes the far right and demands a better future. @scottishtuc.bsky.social #ScotlandDemandsBetter

Our strength lies in our reach: we represent workers in their workplaces. We are a diverse movement—now majority female. And because our success depends on unity, confronting racism & the far right is not optional. It is existential morningstaronline.co.uk/article/dont... @mstaronline.bsky.social

STUC equality committees out in force to say #refugeesarewelcome #standuptoracism @scottishtucwc.bsky.social & @scottishtucbwc.bsky.social stand in solidarity with Falkirk anti racists and anti fascists. ✊

Any knee-jerk responses to policies in your workplace around trans rights should be reported.

The STUC Women's committee said they wholeheartedly reject recent protests. “It has become clear that these are not about the rights and safety of women and girls but about division and hatred.” @scottishtuc.bsky.social @scottishtucwc.bsky.social www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

A fun weekend surrounded by amazing, trade union women ✊

“We’re seeing LGBT topics and education initiatives like ours being weaponised and misrepresented to distract from decades of consecutive economic failure that have made people’s lives harder.” 📰 Our long-read interview in @scotnational.bsky.social

The rain didn't dampen NASUWT's pride, enthusiasm or joy! Lots of soggy attendees at Pride in Dundee 2025 😁 🌧 😄 💕 🌈 #comingoutforteachers #ProudtobeNASUWT

Proud to have been able to speak on behalf of the NASUWT and the STUC Women’s Committee at the Sheku vigil this week. #nojusticenopeace #justiceforsheku

We're deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Sir Geoff Palmer. A courageous champion of equality, he challenged how we talk about history.

NASUWT today stood shoulder to shoulder with other trade unions, community organisations and campaigners to show support and solidarity to the family of Sheku Bayoh. #justiceforsheku #nojusticenopeace @scottishtuc.bsky.social @lindasommerville.bsky.social @sutrscotland.bsky.social

Policy Official & Vice Chair @scottishtucwc.bsky.social, @taralillis.bsky.social, addressed the vigil outside Capital House as the Sheku Bayoh public inquiry enters a critical point. NASUWT sends unwavering solidarity to Sheku's family in their fight for justice. #JusticeforSheku

The mood music from too many politicians is unhelpful and fuelling a hostile environment. 🎧 Listen in to National Official, Mike Corbett, speak to the BBC on racism in schools. @mikecorbett1.bsky.social

The U.K. police have had guidance on how to search you after a miscarriage incase someone wants to accuse you of an illegal abortion. I can’t say it enough, we need this abortion decriminalisation amendment to pass this time observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Brilliant article by my colleague and NASUWT AGS Phil Siddle. Check it out, then like & share: eiie.io/44FHsNF ‘we’ve seen a worrying resurgence in anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment—particularly targeting trans and non-binary people. Much of this mirrors the language once used under Section 28’

Marking the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia #IDAHOBIT, we remember that during times of crisis it is ever more important to safeguard the equalities that have been hard won & to fight for those whose rights & safety have been eroded or never existed.

You can catch my address to STUC Congress on behalf of @scottishtucwc.bsky.social around 1:03: m.youtube.com/watch?v=pvPL...

No child should go hungry at school. Statement from the STUC Women's Committee ⤵️

Storming speech by Tara, and I was particularly proud of her insistence that no woman will be left behind by the STUC Women’s Committee, when there are currently so many efforts by others to divide and conquer. #STUC25

📢 In CRER's latest blog post, Deputy Director Carol Young reflects on this week's summit on strengthening and protecting democracy in Scotland: Is a summit really the best Scotland can do to counter the far right? www.crer.org.uk/blog/is-a-su...

Long day today - and a challenging one for many. Still time to say that #TransRightsAreHumanRights Always and forever.

An empowering day supporting women in NASUWT to enhance their confidence in making speeches and other conference skills. #AccelerateAction #IWD2025 #IWD25

The theme "Nothing Rhymes with Purple" reminds us that while the word may stand alone, no person should have to. Scotland Executive Council members are proud to be supporting #purplefriday today 💜. A day to build a better Scotland for LGBTI young people. #ProudtobeNASUWT

Politicians are in the last chance saloon. If they don't start delivering for working people, then they will turn elsewhere. 📺@rozfoyer.bsky.social / #bbcdn

Speaking at #ScotLab25 today, our National Official @mikecorbett1.bsky.social made a number of clear asks to Labour. NASUWT stands in support and solidarity with Scotland's trans community.

Systemic racism perpetuates racial inequalities. We all have a collective responsibility to ensure anti-racism work continues. NASUWT commits to eradicate racism by sustaining and promoting anti-racist actions and policies. Check out our activists video here: www.instagram.com/reel/DFdLY3a...

Recognition from @johnswinney.bsky.social that working on anti-racism is crucial. ‘We can see the rise of the far right across the western world. The work of tackling racism and racist bigotry is never complete.’

It is a time for implementation and action to embed anti-racism in education @khadijamohammed.bsky.social 👏 👏👏👏👏

Attended the joint cross party group on poverty & disability at the parliament. Disability stigma, discrimination & hate speech have intensified. Timely launch of @tie.scot @isdgermany.bsky.social ‘Digital Discourse Initiative’ today. Schools need the tools to counter disinformation & hate.

NASUWT research has previously shown that false information online is cited by pupils as fact in their studies. This is a brilliant new resource which will give teachers the tools to address online hate and disinformation. See link below for more info👇

The year’s #HolocaustMemorialDay theme is For a Better Future. It is a time to remember the millions of ‘ordinary people’ murdered during the Holocaust, under Nazi persecution & in the genocides which followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia & Darfur. #neverforgotten www.nasuwt.org.uk/news/campaig...

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

NASUWT Scotland and Northern Ireland united 😊 Such a treat to see Maxine & Sally in person, delighted to get a souvenir selfie too 📸

Inspiring event in Derry 💪 Grateful to get to spend time with women trade union leaders, share knowledge & build wider experience. Thank you @kmccrone.bsky.social @joycestevenson.bsky.social @lizmcg1578.bsky.social @communityunion.bsky.social 🤩✊

In Derry for Women’s Council of the Isles on behalf of @scottishtuc.bsky.social @nasuwtscotland.bsky.social - focusing on tackling the far right, extremism and misogyny. Women trade unionists coming together to share experiences & foster collectivism. Building solidarity & intersectionality. 💪✊

Massive shout out to @tie.scot @liam.tie.scot @jordan.tie.scot who work tirelessly to support LGBT Inclusive Education 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Effectively representing LGBT themes can prevent harmful stereotypes & stigma from arising & allows pupils to see themselves & their families reflected in their learning. ✊✊

Solidarity & respect to both SAMEE & @khadijamohammed.bsky.social who are deeply committed to support educators & further the vision set out in the Race Equality Framework 💪 Don’t miss your opportunity to nominate a colleague for a SAMEE award. See link below for more info.
