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.
It was good to hear The First minister mention Worker Support Centre in his response to @richardleonardmsp.bsky.social on seasonal farm worker housing conditions yesterday at FMQs, but workers need urgent action to ensure standards are in place BEFORE the May elections & the 2026 picking season.

Welcoming Scotland’s First Minister, John Swinney MSP, to our office on Friday
We shared our 5 Step Exploitation Prevention Model and shared footage of squalid housing many workers in his constituency live in, paying high rents.

Yesterday we opened our new office at WASPS Creative Exchange in Perth! (come & visit!)
This involved building furniture, rehoming beautiful plants, setting up kebab, music & seats & having a lovely AGM and party.
Heres a wee glimpse from our mini staff & Trustees photo shoot in the new office.

Tied-accommodation for seasonal agricultural workers was discussed in the Scottish Parliament today with the Housing Minister acknowledging the gap in oversight.
Urgent action is now essential to close this loophole.
@richardleonardmsp.bsky.social here has consistently raised this issue.
