Unity Consulting: a year of supporting the movement
As the class struggle continues to ramp up, the effective campaigning and research methods of unions and activist groups becomes more and more crucial — we are proud to have played our part, writes NEIL FINDLAY
Workers from different unions unite to support the Edinburgh picket line during a 24-hour strike by the RMT, Aslef, Unite and the TSSA, October 1, 2022.

IN 2021 myself and two colleagues, Tommy Kane, a former adviser to Jeremy Corbyn and Michael Sharpe, a former head of policy for Labour in the Scottish Parliament, set up Unity Consulting Scotland, a not-for-profit social enterprise.  

The aim was to offer our campaigning, research and policy development skills, political knowledge and experience to trade unions, community groups and voluntary sector organisations who campaign for social change.  

Like any new venture, we took our first steps tentatively and with some trepidation but with the clear view that we had something different to offer.
