Scottish Labour's Daniel Johnson slammed for ‘fawning’ over anti-union company

SCOTTISH Labour’s economy spokesman Daniel Johnson has found himself in hot water after a trade union leader blasted his “fawning” over an anti-trade union company.

The Edinburgh Southern MSP visited the Norwegian-owned Mowi plant, which is responsible for more than half of UK salmon exports, in Rosyth last week.

He stated on a video posted to his social media afterwards: “It’s been really fascinating to listen to how they have been investing, improving productivity through investment in the plant, and the focus on recruiting and retaining their people, ensuring that they have high levels of engagement.”
