The counter-proposal gives @pladis_Global everything it needs to maintain manufacturing in the East End of Glasgow, securing jobs and opportunity for future generations. These workers are fighting for their future, and everyone is standing with them. #OurFactoryOurFuture
We were told Scotland was well prepared for the pandemic, but now exhausted workers are being asked to compromise their own safety to prop up underfunded and understaffed services. Valuing key workers isn't just about pay. The message this sends is their safety isn't a priority.
“We believe it's the cuts, the underfunding and the under-staffing of these services that means they don't have the capacity we need in times of crisis - that's within our NHS, our social care sector and our supermarkets”. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-57937583
Glasgow and its services are absolutely on the brink. The city desperately needs significant investment from government to finally resolve its discrimination against working women and to begin to tackle the damage done by a decade of disastrous political austerity.
Scotland is a blueprint for how not to deliver a just transition for workers. We were promised 28,000 jobs in offshore wind and ended up with a few hundred. It’s not too late to fix it, but time is slipping and we need a plan, investment and action. Now. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/nicola-sturgeon-pulled-up-over-24448258
