Gifts from The Morning Star
Scotland in brief: May 12, 2021

NHS: GMB Scotland has confirmed that its members working in the NHS have voted to reject the Scottish government’s 4 per cent pay offer.

The union said that the offer “doesn’t restore the damage done to pay and conditions after a decade of disastrous political austerity.”
