The STUC’s aim is to gather workers’ experiences on how their jobs, safety and workplaces have been affected by COVID-19.

They are trying to build a comprehensive picture of what is happening to different groups of workers across Scotland – from the protective equipment they are provided with, to the pay they are receiving, and their experience of interacting with the UK social security system.

The data you provide will be used to put pressure on government and employers to keep workers safe, protect jobs and ensure people are treated fairly.

The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete. Your answers are confidential and STUC’s reporting will be on an anonymous basis.
