Fair Work offers all individuals an effective voice, opportunity, security, respect and fulfilment.

Fair work makes a real difference to people and their communities, organisations and the economy.  We would like fair working practices to be in place across all workplaces in the South of Scotland. We support the Fair Work Convention and the Scottish Government vision below:

By 2025, people in Scotland will have a world-leading working life where fair work drives success, wellbeing and prosperity for individuals, businesses, organisations and society.
