and Labour are both under pressure to sign up to a list of General Election pledges which calls for employment and immigration laws to be devolved to Scotland.
STUC’s general secretary Roz Foyer said: “There can be no half-measures from candidates; if they seek our vote they must pledge their support.”However, they are facing internal pressure from the SNPTUG, whose national secretary Simon Barrow said:"What the STUC is demanding on workers' rights, public services, investing in the green economy, taxing wealth, substantial powers for Scotland and active internationalism chimes exactly with what SNP trade unionists are asking of our party.
“Our transformative New Deal for Working People will deliver a pay rise for more than 200,000 of the lowest paid workers, end fire and rehire, ban exploitative zero hour contracts, and expand day one rights. "We could be weeks away from a Labour government, but what Sir Keir Starmer is offering is completely insufficient. I hope that every Labour candidate engages properly with the STUC and these pledges, and that radical policies like this play a central role in the years ahead."We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
