Rona Mackay: Condemns Unpaid Trial Shifts—That the Parliament welcomes the
Private Members Bill introduced by Stewart McDonald MP in the House of Commons to ban
unpaid trial shifts; considers that this practice infringes workers’ rights and notes calls for it to be
stopped; understands that young people are the group most likely to face exploitation; notes the
view that, whether permanent work is offered or not, they should be paid for their work during a
trial period; commends this bill, and considers that it will make a real difference for people
throughout Scotland, including in Strathkelvin and Bearsden, seeking employment.
