STUC and trade unions 
STUC is a key participant in the PACE framework. Trade unions have a significant role to play in any situation involving a company in difficulty both in terms of local intelligence and in managing the process once redundancies become inevitable. It is important therefore that structures exist at a local level to ensure this intelligence and expertise is shared and utilised.
Some areas already have a trade union representative on the local response team and others co-opt their expertise as required. Much work has been done recently by the STUC, with support from the Government, to raise awareness of PACE amongst their own trade union members and to promote more effective trade union involvement in PACE at a local level.
