AROUND 140,000 low-paid female workers across Scotland would be better off under a Labour government, according to the party’s deputy leader Angela Rayner.

Ms Rayner made the remarks as she joined Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar on the campaign trail today to promote the party’s New Deal for Workers.

The policy was pioneered by the Communication Workers Union and later adopted by the TUC, STUC and Labour.
