SCOTLAND’S most senior trade unionist has laid out workers’ demands ahead of May’s Scottish Parliament elections, including demands for a national care service and a sustainable recovery from coronavirus. 

STUC general secretary Roz Foyer reiterated the trade union movement’s calls for transformative policies from Holyrood’s next government, laying out the need for a national recovery after the pandemic. 

The calls came after speeches by both SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon and Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar during the second day of the STUC conference today.
