Women pledge to tackle workplace discrimination
TRADE unionists from across Scotland will gather to call for an end to discrimination against women in the workplace at this year’s Scottish Trades Union Congress Women’s Conference.
The 94th annual congress takes place this week online, where the major issues affecting women workers in the labour market and wider society will be debated by about 160 delegates from unions across Scotland.
The conference’s theme this year is women organising against discrimination at work, and delegates will debate a range of motions over the weekend, including sexual harassment, domestic abuse, women’s health and the impacts of Covid-19 on women.
