Trade union Usdaw opens new office in Aberdeen

The Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers (Usdaw), the fifth largest trade union in the UK, opened a new area office near Aberdeen city centre yesterday.

Seven Usdaw staff, including three Area Organisers, will be based at the new office in Queen's Lane North.

The office boasts impressive facilities for training shop stewards and union reps. It will be the administrative hub for the union's work across North East Scotland and central Highlands.

The new office replaces Usdaw's previous base in Holburn Street, Aberdeen.

Usdaw Scottish Divisional Officer Frank Whitelaw said: "Usdaw is committed to providing excellent facilities for members and staff, and this office does that. It has good transport links and offers better opportunity to train workers from across a wide area of Scotland in union activity."

The contact details of the new office are:

1 Queens Lane North, Aberdeen AB15 4DF

Telephone: 01224 652820, Fax: 01224 652828, e-mail: aberdeen@usdaw.org.uk

Usdaw has over 320,000 members (including around 36,000 in Scotland), which makes it the fifth largest trade union in the UK. The majority of members are shopworkers, although members are drawn from a wide range of industries, including home shopping, call centres, drivers, butchers and meat packers.

Note

• Usdaw's Scottish Divisional Conference, open to delegates only, will take place on Sunday 19th October 2003 at Royal British Hotel, Princes Street, Edinburgh.
