TRADE unionists from across Scotland gathered online today as 2021’s STUC Congress kicked off with calls for a “supermajority of workers” to come together as part of a people’s recovery. 

The STUC’s 124th annual congress began today with calls for government action to ensure a future for jobs in Scotland, highlighting the efforts of key workers throughout the coronavirus crisis. 

STUC general secretary Roz Foyer expressed her gratitude to front-line staff, predominantly low-paid women, who have “risked their own health to keep us safe.”
