Women workers are preparing to take the lead on Scotland’s future today as trade union leaders vow to make politicians accountable for their pre-referendum promises.

Speaking to the Star before the opening of STUC women’s conference in Perth, chairwoman Ann Joss highlighted the key role of women in Scotland’s future.

Ms Joss said the conference was of particular importance this year “because we now need our governments to deliver on the promises they made to us prior to the referendum.”
