"It looks increasingly clear to us that the model for green industrial jobs in Scotland, where they exist, is to be one of casualised labour." We've written to @DerekMackaySNP regarding the tiny proportion of jobs coming to Scotland from the NnG project. https://tinyurl.com/v5kcb9u

Scotland left with "scraps off the table" in £2bn wind farm boom.

"Flexible working: A study conducted by Timewise found that only 1 in 7 jobs advertised throughout 2018 offered any kind of flexible working." This month's @UnionLineNews is now online! https://www.gmbscotland.org.uk/assets/media/documents/unionline/UL-Scotland-News-Oct-2019.pdf
