STUC project tackles violence
A groundbreaking STUC-inspired project to tackle workplace violence has been showcased at the July National Hazards Conference. Four years ago, the Scottish union federation worked with Scotland's then Labour administration on a report that STUC said 'set the foundation for positive collaboration between the trade union movement in Scotland and the Scottish government to raise awareness of the extent of the problem and how to help unions, workers and employers address the issue.' STUC said one of the most successful aspects of the campaign 'has been the media profile with poster and television advertising funded by the Scottish government ensuring the message that physical and verbal attacks on public service workers is unacceptable was widely communicated across Scotland.' It added: 'The emphasis of the work has primarily focused on prevention, ensuring employers and trade unions identify opportunities to work together to identify and address issues within their own working environments.'
