SCOTTISH trade unions have joined forces with housing activists to launch a nationwide campaign to upgrade Scotland’s homes to reduce emissions and tackle fuel poverty.
The Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) is leading the Our Climate, Our Homes campaign, calling on councils to establish municipal energy companies to tackle the spiralling energy prices.
Recent figures show that 613,000 households in Scotland were in fuel poverty in 2019, with concerns that the recent cuts to universal credit will worsen the problem.
