THE Scottish TUC has called for greater worker protection after workers were “put in harm’s way” by unscrupulous employers during Storm Eowyn.

A new STUC report has shown that workers felt compelled to attend work despite the recent red-alert weather warning for fear of losing wages or losing out on future shifts. 

A survey of 48 workers found 41 critical of their employer’s attitude, and of the 39 required to attend work during the storm 35 believed it unsafe.
