STUC. Scottish Union Learning. The learning force behind Scotland's workers.

How do you become more active within your union?

Every union member can become more active. If you are interested in becoming an active rep, such as a Union Learning Representative or a Health and Safety Rep, contact your union for training information.

Young Workers

Young workers can also make a big difference and there are many opportunities available to them. For example, you could contact your union to make arrangements to attend the STUC Youth Conference, which is held on an annual basis. This is an excellent way of getting a good understanding of how unions work, union involvement in campaigns and how you too can get involved, it is also an excellent opportunity to meet other young trade unionists from across Scotland.

To explore ways of becoming active within your branch, speak to your Shop Steward. If your branch would like an STUC speaker to attend a branch meeting to speak to the young workers, please contact the STUC on 0141 337 8100.

Completing some online STUC surveys will provide us with information on the needs of young workers. Visit the Surveys web-link section for more information.
