Scottish government’s fair work policy draws criticisms from unions and academics
Scottish Parliament in Holyrood, Edinburgh

UNIONS and academics have hit out at the Scottish government’s fair work policy, calling for action from the SNP at Holyrood.

STUC general secretary Roz Foyer has backed calls from Gregor Gall, a professor in industrial relations, for greater powers to be passed to Holyrood and for Scottish ministers to match their rhetoric with commitments on worker protections. 

Ms Foyer and Professor Gall were speaking at an event organised by the Jimmy Reid Foundation think tank marking the publication of a critique of the Scottish government’s fair work policy.
