Making Equality Work? - An update on Scottish Trade Unions approaches to Equalities Report
In 2009, the One Workplace Equal Rights and Close the Gap Projects commissioned the Employment Research Institute (ERI) at Napier University to conduct a piece of mapping research, as a follow up to a 2004/05 study that mapped Scottish trade unions approaches to promoting equal opportunities.
The research aimed to measure the distance travelled by trade unions between 2005 and 2010, and to make recommendations for further action. This involved both a review of policy and research literature and a series of semi-structured interviews with representatives of STUC affiliated trade unions.
