Roz Foyer, the general secretary of the Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC), December 8, 2022

The windfall was revealed by Scotland’s largest trade union body as its annual Congress kicks off in Dundee today. 

Its research also showed that workers would be worse off by £3bn had they accepted the initial offers from their employers over the 24-month period.
