Devolved nations

Where an issue is devolved in one or more of the nations then the content on this site should be read as affecting only the part of the UK Westminster legislates for on this matter.

As a union we want to see the UK government do more to work collaboratively with the devolved governments and treat them with respect.

There are clear opportunities for the UK government to learn from the good practice that exists on engaging with workers and trade unions. This includes areas like fair work, just transition and deeper engagement with public service trade unions.

If and where workplace rights diverge across the UK, it must always be based on ‘levelling up’ for workers, and never as part of a deregulatory race to the bottom.
