It is appalling that this bill was defeated- shame on those who failed to support it

Lots of drama for his first ever game!

At UNISON - UK's largest union NEC meeting on Wednesday I raised the importance of having an Industrial Injuries System that reflects the industrial injuries of the 21st Century and the need to support Mark’s Bill.

The bill is right and just Mark Griffin . Usdaw Scotland members are behind you and we will continue to fight with you for what is right.

It's a great shame that Mark Griffin's important bill on reforming the industrial injuries system in Scotland has been blocked by the SNP & Tories.

This bill, which was developed in consultation with Community's Scottish Secretary Steve Farrell, would have given workers a

Incredibly disappointing that this bill was defeated. No Government in any part of the UK is currently willing to listen to the lived experience of workers or definitive science. FIREFIGTERS ARE CONTRACTING CANCER AT WORK WHILE POLTICIANS PROVARICATE & STALL.

While the SNP and Tories may have succeeded in defeating my Bill today, the fight goes on to have the voices of workers at the heart of a new industrial injuries system in Scotland. @scottishlabour won’t turn our back on workers #OurWorkplaces

SCIAF reacts to the news that Scottish Government plans to reopen the 2019 Climate Change Act which aimed to reduce emissions by 75% by 2030.

Anne Callaghan, SCIAF Advocacy Officer said:

“Today’s news betrays the communities SCIAF serves in the world’s poorest places.'

Happy to support Mark Griffin and his SEAIC bill at Parliament today. Unbelievably The SNP, Greens and Tories all voted against it. Workers are dying while their elected representatives delay. Shameful!

I hope that the Scottish Parliament will support this excellent work by Mark Griffin today.

Workers should be safe at their place of work.

We support Mark Griffin’s efforts to change the employment injuries system in Scotland. Warm words about supporting workers from the Scottish Government will not cut it any longer. Workers need action and we encourage the SNP - Green coalition to support the Bill. #OurWorkplaces

In his speech to STUC Humza Yousaf talked of values in the interests of working people. These warm words will mean nothing unless the SNP-Greens act now to build a fairer, more equal industrial injuries system in Scotland by supporting my Bill today #OurWorkplaces

Does that include long covid sufferers, firefighters with cancer, teachers with asbestos-related illness, or ex-footballers with dementia? If it does, then I expect Humza Yousaf will support my bill to create a fairer industrial injuries system in Scotland #OurWorplaces #STUC24

I fully support Michael Marra MSP Injury Time campaign. The Scottish Government have an opportunity on Thursday to support my Bill to establish a Council that can take these decisions on industrial injuries in Scotland now #OurWorkplaces #STUC24 STUC
