TODAY, Friday November 5, alongside our Scottish regional secretary Pat Rafferty, I am co-hosting the latest in a series of regional meetings to discuss Unite’s Manufacturing Matters industrial strategy.
We’re bringing together shop stewards and officers from Scotland’s manufacturing heartlands to develop our campaign plan to protect vital jobs, skills, investment and income for families and communities facing unprecedented challenges.
Our event takes place in a rapidly changing environment, with lockdowns and forced business closures, introduced to varying degrees by both the Scottish and British governments, impacting on the jobs and livelihoods of millions of workers. With no industrial strategy or plan to support British manufacturing the Tories in Westminster shamefully sit idly by as infrastructure contracts are lost to overseas bids, alongside opportunities for coming generations and vital skills for our recovery.
