COVID was a “class killer,” the Scottish Covid-19 Inquiry has heard.

STUC general secretary Roz Foyer made the remarks as she, along with a number of trade unionists, gave their evidence to the inquiry today.

The STUC’s evidence submitted to the inquiry was based on research by Strathclyde University’s Professor Phil Taylor, which found health and social care workers were four times more likely to be exposed to the virus than those across all other industries.
