SCOTLAND’S largest trade union body has urged politicians to “take the shackles off workers” if far-right populism is to be defeated. 

Kicking off their annual Congress in Dundee today, the STUC’s general council has submitted a motion calling on the union body to “commit campaigning and staffing resources” on tackling the far right.

It also calls on it to “hold a specific trade union wide event during 2025 to further build these strategies.”
