The Scottish Unemployed Workers Network (SUWN) is a left-leaning political organisation in Scotland[1] which advocates on behalf of unemployed working-class people. It aims to be "a source of advice and information" as well as a vehicle for campaigning and organisation.[2]

The organisation is based principally in Dundee and campaigns heavily on the issues of welfare sanctions[3] and poverty.[4][5] The organisation has highlighted the struggle of many people to find jobs and the challenges in living on benefits.[6] In December 2014, the organisation published a detailed report claiming that Scottish welfare claimants are being hit by excessive and arbitrary sanctions as a result of UK Government welfare reforms.[1][7]
