Workers’ Stories is a project committed to recording worker experiences in Scotland. For more info visit our website.
Joined May 2020
Three years ago we were in the midst of the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic. Workers' Stories originally published our first story on 5 July 2020: Thoughts of A Postie During A Global Pandemic by Marion Johnstone, a postal worker from Ayrshire. https://t.co/ESgHp3q9AC

News today is dominated by lockdown in Downing Street, but we published over 50 stories from workplaces across Scotland about how hospital workers, supermarket staff, lorry drivers and teachers and administrators lived through the pandemic. Read them here.

Brilliant evening seeing all of these films and remembering Cathy McCormack's important contribution to housing activism in Glasgow and internationally. Loved @HowatshawsTom's film Bellsmyre Caledonia - we all need to connect the dots and figure out what's going on!
Brilliant @CWUnews + @Living_Rent fundraiser screening last night, in memory of Cathy McCormack. Good to see project contributor @HowatshawsTom ‘s new film Bellsmyre Caledonia, a screenplay adapted from his original workers’ story in 2021. Up the workers, up the tenants!

'Strength and power could be felt in the stuttering voices and trembling hands as poetry, prose, essays and diaries were read to the room.' In November we held our first exhibition @GalGael. We've published a reflection with pictures and audience comments.

It’s one year since over 100 people gathered to hear workers tell their lockdown stories @GalGael. We heard poems, prose and songs from cleaners, super market workers and college administrators. There was power in both the individual creativity and in the togetherness we felt.
