Scottish government must ‘end the excuses’ and deliver at the budget, say STUC

UNIONS in Scotland told the Scottish government yesterday that next week’s Budget is time to “end the excuses” and keep its promises to workers.

That was the message trade unionists from across Scotland took to the heart of Holyrood today as they staged a rally demanding investment in services, workers and communities at the Budget on December 4.

A Scottish government spokesperson responded: “The Scottish Budget will prioritise our resources in line with the First Minister’s priorities of ending child poverty, growing the economy, investing in public services and supporting the path to net zero.

“Ministers are committed to building as broad support as possible across Parliament.”
