TODAY delegates are attending the 82nd Annual STUC Youth Conference in Clydebank. Following the STUC’s declaration of a cost-of-living emergency last week, this weekend’s gathering of young trade unionists comes at a critical moment, not just for the trajectory of the country but for the entire planet.
The motions being proposed, debated, and voted on over the course of this weekend tackle industrial issues from mental health, the cost of living and working, sexual harassment and gender-based violence, to refugee solidarity and climate justice.
These priorities of young workers in Scotland carry urgent social and political implications.
