That the Parliament acknowledges and supports the STUC Black Workers’ Committee’s Break The Race Ceiling campaign, which was launched on social media during the Black Lives Matter, We Cannot Breath event held on 7 June 2020, which calls for seismic change across the whole of the Scottish public sector in order to not just recruit and employ more black and minority ethnic (BAME) people in the workforce, but also support them to succeed into positions of management, decision-making and authority across the whole of the Scottish public sector, including national and local government, public bodies, and other services that serve Scotland’s diverse communities.
