The time is right for the Scottish People’s Assembly to get on the front foot

TODAY the Scottish People’s Assembly Against Austerity is holding its AGM in Unite the Union offices, Glasgow.

Guest speakers include Scottish Labour Party leader Richard Leonard MSP, SNP MP Chris Stephens, FBU regional secretary Denise Christie, Institute of Employment Rights executive member Ruth Dukes and all ably chaired by our very own Phil McGarry of RMT.

It brings together local People’s Assembly groups, trades councils and unions to set out and agree our plans and strategy for the coming year.
