AS the 122nd president of the Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC), I spoke yesterday to offer fraternal greetings to the Scottish Labour Party conference in Dundee.
Our history is the history of Scottish Labour. The STUC was founded as an independent trade union centre in 1897, splitting from the British TUC over a dispute on political representation for the labour movement.
Our struggle for independent working-class political representation led to the formation of the Scottish Labour Party, taking the name of workers, which it has proudly retained.
