PAY, pensions and the cost-of-living crisis took centre stage on the first day of the Scottish TUC.
Moving a composited motion on pay, STUC general council member Mary Alexander reported that Scottish public-sector workers had seen a real-terms loss of wages equivalent to a 15 per cent pay cut over the last decade.
The motion, which passed unanimously, called for “harmonisation” of campaigning activity by different unions on pay across the public sector and called for a national pay demonstration.
