Worker Support Centre
@workersupportc.bsky.social
We believe everyone should be safe, valued and respected at work. We work towards a Scotland that welcomes every worker. If you're working in seasonal agriculture, or social care on a visa and are having problems we can help.
See cases in our Annual Report 2024:

"Dismissals have catastrophic consequences on workers’ livelihoods. Workers greatly fear dismissal because of the need to repay debts incurred to come to the UK and the impact on their chance of future work"
