Ahead of STUC Congress opening in Dundee, general secretary ROZ FOYER pays tribute to all workers in struggle for their rights
LEADING FROM THE FRONT: Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) general secretary Roz Foyer (in the red coat) with teachers on the picket line outside St. Andrew’s RC Secondary School, in Glasgow last year, as they take strike action in a dispute over pay, (front, left to right) Dr Patrick Roach NASUWT general secretary and National Official for Scotland Mike Corbett

SCOTLAND is a nation proud of its industrial heritage. We should be. Dundee, one of our leading cities, has played a prominent role in the struggles of our country, with workers leading front and centre. It is those workers who have shown over the past two years that where they lead, the politicians follow.

That’s why, among other reasons, we’re proud to have brought STUC Congress back to the city for 2024. At the Caird Hall we’ll make our case. When workers unite, we win. And believe me, workers have won and won big for the movement.

Whether it’s the local authority workers winning £600 million more than Cosla were willing to pay them after taking strike action.
