UNISON Scotland Labour Link @unisonlabourlinksc.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
🌹💜 That’s a wrap on Labour Party Conference for another year! It’s been a busy few days of debates, discussions, catching up with colleagues and making sure the voices of UNISON members are heard. Safe travels to everyone heading home today — see you next year! 👋💜💚✊

🤖💜 UNISON’s Jacqueline Keddie at #LabourConference on AI in public services. AI should support workers, not replace them. UNISON is calling for transparency, proper training and trade union consultation before new systems are introduced. ✊ #UNISON #AI

💜💚 A powerful call at #LabourConference to finally deliver a National Care Service. Decent care must mean decent pay, pensions and conditions for the workers who hold our care system together. The ambition was there in 2009. Now it’s time to make it a reality. ✊ #UNISON

Last week, more than 20,000 council workers in Glasgow were threatened with dismissal in the biggest single act of fire and rehire in British history. ‘No worker… should ever again be told to accept worse terms and conditions or lose your job’ Louise Noble, UNISON Scotland tells Labour conference.

🌹 PM Andy Burnham closes #Lab26 with his first Conference speech as Prime Minister. Housing, social care, public ownership and a National Care Service all featured. Now the focus must be on turning ambition into action for working people and our public services. 💜💚 #UNISON

🏠 “A home shouldn’t be a privilege. It should be the foundation for a future.” Powerful contribution at #Lab26 on tackling homelessness. Prevention must be the starting point — with genuinely affordable homes, strong housing services and support before people reach crisis. #UNISON #Housing

UNISON Scotland Labour Link @unisonlabourlinksc.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
🏠 Housing is a trade union issue. Powerful UNISON contribution at #Lab26 highlighting how the housing crisis impacts workers and public services. Without affordable homes, we can’t recruit and retain the workforce our services need. Affordable housing and strong public services go hand in hand. ✊

💜💚 UNISON Scotland Deputy Convenor Louise Noble moved an Emergency Motion on Glasgow City Council workers at #Lab26. ✊ The message was clear: paused is not enough. Fire and rehire must be taken off the table completely. Solidarity with Glasgow workers. 💜💚

💜💚 It’s time to bring our public services back in-house. Outsourcing puts private profit before our services. UNISON is calling for a major programme of insourcing — services run for communities, not for profit. ✊ Public service workers show up. Government must too. #UNISON #InsourcingNow

Kay Marie Hughes moving Motion 17 – Wind Generation Ownership at UNISON’s National Labour Link Forum. Scotland’s renewable energy should work for our communities, workers & future generations not simply private profit. A just transition means public ownership, good jobs & investment in our future.
