People are sick of failed Tory politicians cosplaying as working-class champions. Reform’s manifesto is fantasy economics that cuts taxes for the rich whilst killing our public services. They look out for the wealthy – we look out for the workers @RozFoyer/@ScotlandTonight

Trade unionists are working alongside the @povertyalliance.org as part of the Scotland Demands Better campaign. Delighted to attend tonight's Scottish Parliament hustings, ensuring politicians listen to the demands of Scotland's workers.

Today, we launch the manifesto for Scotland's workers. If the politicians want our votes, then they must act on our demands. We demand jobs that pay the bills. We demand a proper industrial strategy. We demand that wealth is shared. Read more👇 www.stuc.org.uk/resources/st...

"We need to see really urgent radical action, because every single cut made, every promise broken, every opportunity to act that's been missed, kills off people's hope and trust in our very politics." - Roz Foyer addresses the COSLA Spring Conference

Those politicians and sections of the commentariat criticising flexible working are relics of a by-gone age. It is almost as if they are more interested in having a pop at unionised public sector workers than improving the economy. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social

Hosted by a coalition of national women's organisations and campaign groups, this online hustings is an opportunity for political parties to set out their commitments for women’s equality before the upcoming Scottish Parliament election in May. Register below: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hustings-f...

The announcement from the Scottish Government to introduce sectoral bargaining in social care is a positive move but it must not be lip service. Scotland's trade union movement will be holding the government to account to ensure tangible improvement for social care workers in Scotland.

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating Eid al-Fitr today!

The STUC Women’s Committee and Young Women's Movement highlighted their election manifestos at the Scottish Parliament earlier today, calling on all political parties to challenge far-right narratives, counter misogyny, and tackle GBV and mis and dis-information.

Excellent support on the St Patrick's Pickets. NO COMPULSORY REDUNDANCY #HWUni #Heriot-Watt #UCU #SaveScholar #LINCS #loveLanguages

From the ashes of Union Street, we must renew. But you can't cut your way out of a crisis. The shrinkage of the state hardly acts as a firewall when our public services are stretched in times of emergency. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

Check out this event on Monday 16th from Clydebank TUC as part of #IWD2026 Hear from STUC Deputy General Secretary @lindasomerville.bsky.social among others!

The perilous state of Royal Mail is deeply concerning. With mail piling high and the Scottish Parliament elections weeks away, we cannot compromise the validity of that vote if Royal Mail fail to deliver election material or postal ballots as expected. www.thenational.scot/news/2592402...

🗳️In a matter of weeks, Scotland will go to the polls. Alongside @cwunews.bsky.social, the STUC have deep concerns over Royal Mail’s ability to ensure the election is representative and fully functional. @rozfoyer.bsky.social/ @paulhutcheon.bsky.social www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic...

International Women’s Day and the Covid-19 day of Reflection were yesterday. If the pandemic reinforced anything, it’s that it revealed the deep, structural inequity between men and women. @rozfoyer.bsky.social @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/hol...

An evening well spent @scotparl.bsky.social @cpagscotland.bsky.social hearing from young people and their teachers. Government must do more to address school costs and tackle poverty - including implementation of universal free school meals. @scottishtuc.bsky.social #FoodforThought

UK Government changes to social care visas risk causing significant harm to our care homes. We need more workers, not less. Pulling up the drawbridge damages Scotland's public services. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @hannahmargbrown.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social

We aren’t a nation, or at least we shouldn’t be, of insular arrogance that aims to abandon those in need. Ratcliffe's ramblings done nothing but to spread disinformation and embolden the far-right. @rozfoyer.bsky.social/ @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

LGBT workers, the length and breadth of our movement, have turned out in force today. During LGBT History Month, our workers are sharing in their struggle but uniting around the challenges to overcome.

The Scottish Government deserve praise for ensuring higher education remains tuition fee free Solutions to the crisis of funding in the sector won’t be found in creating barriers by lumping debt on to students @rozfoyer.bsky.social/ @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/news/educati...

If we really care about protecting our women & girls we need to reject the racist campaigns that solely target those seeking asylum & instead go after those at the top until every last… [one]… who may have aided & abetted the abuse of women & girls is brought to task. @rozfoyer.bsky.social ✊✊✊

There is no time to lose. If the government is to stand beside workers and deliver a just transition, it must act now and end the delays. @rozfoyer.bsky.social with @davidbol.bsky.social in @scotsman.com

I hope every single individual who turned a blind eye to the systemic abuse of women and children and accepted the unacceptable is sweating. That is, of course, if they’re capable of sweating. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

To achieve a just transition, workers and their communities must be at the heart of it. Watch @davemoxham.bsky.social on STV Scotland Tonight call for further progress to involve communities in the process 👇

Violence against women and girls – the systematic rape and trafficking of children at the hands of wealthy, elitist men – is a much bigger concern than political melodrama. There. I said it. Unsure why it was that difficult. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social

Mass starvation is a war crime. This US imperial aggression is collective punishment, a crime under international law. The UK must speak out to defend Cuba's people. Read @rozfoyer.bsky.social letter to the Foreign Secretary in the @scotnational.bsky.social 👇 www.thenational.scot/news/2585034...
