Statement from STUC General Secretary Roz Foyer

Trump's gangster imperialism can't be ignored. We must prioritise sovereignty - not the 'special relationship'. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

Cuts are a political choice. As the new Cabinet Secretary for Public Service Reform gets down to work, unions won't be silent nor shy when faced with cuts to jobs and services. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

'Still, beyond the challenges, women rise up time after time – joining, organising and leading community campaigns, local disputes and national strikes' www.heraldscotland.com/poli... @rozfoyer.bsky.social @scottishtuc.bsky.social

Those politicians and sections of the commentariat criticising flexible working are relics of a by-gone age. It is almost as if they are more interested in having a pop at unionised public sector workers than improving the economy. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social

From the ashes of Union Street, we must renew. But you can't cut your way out of a crisis. The shrinkage of the state hardly acts as a firewall when our public services are stretched in times of emergency. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

Ensuring the workforce is safe is not a barrier to the entrepreneurial spirit those in the upper reaches of our social classes think is lacking in Scotland. Safer workplaces are beneficial to the workforce, to society and to economic growth. @rozfoyer.bsky.social

If we really care about protecting our women & girls we need to reject the racist campaigns that solely target those seeking asylum & instead go after those at the top until every last… [one]… who may have aided & abetted the abuse of women & girls is brought to task. @rozfoyer.bsky.social ✊✊✊

The Scottish Government deserve praise for ensuring higher education remains tuition fee free Solutions to the crisis of funding in the sector won’t be found in creating barriers by lumping debt on to students @rozfoyer.bsky.social/ @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/news/educati...

Scotland’s parties must offer more than promises – they must offer real hope. @rozfoyer.bsky.social in the @mstaronline.bsky.social

Violence against women and girls – the systematic rape and trafficking of children at the hands of wealthy, elitist men – is a much bigger concern than political melodrama. There. I said it. Unsure why it was that difficult. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social

Offshore workers are constantly let down by governments delivering nothing but hot air as opportunities for public investment in the sector breeze right past politicians. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social

Anti racist and anti fascists standing shoulder to shoulder in Perth. Delighted to be there bringing solidarity greetings from the STUC Women’s Committee. @scottishtuc.bsky.social President Richard Hardy spoke passionately about the power of collective action and trade unions ✊ #refugeeswelcome

New research from #TaxJusticeScotland shows that five times as many Scots support urgent Council Tax reform as oppose it. If we want to fund local government properly, we must start by scrapping the regressive council tax @rozfoyer.bsky.social / BBC Radio Scotland

Britain must find the courage to end the so called 'special relationship'. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social

On Holocaust Memorial Day, Roz Foyer attended Paisley Coats Church, remembering the victims of the Holocaust and honouring Jane Haining, the Scottish missionary murdered in Auschwitz for protecting the Jewish girls during the war. @rozfoyer.bsky.social

Government is about political choices and last week's Scottish budget leaves working people paying the price again. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social

Scotland's public sector is crying out for innovation and investment, not job cuts. @rozfoyer.bsky.social on BBC Radio Scotland Drivetime 👇

Yesterday's Scottish Budget featured too much election year virtue signalling, and not enough tangible change for ordinary working people. STUC General Secretary @rozfoyer.bsky.social on STV's Scotland Tonight 👇

Sub-zero resistance: Minnesotans standing tall against ICE.

'Scotland likes to think of itself as a progressive nation, rooted in social justice. This year will test whether those claims mean anything to the people who wash, feed, comfort and advocate for our loved ones' || @rozfoyer.bsky.social @scottishtuc.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/poli...

The STUC stands with the people of Venezuela.

Scotland's public services are being exploited to breaking point. It's high time to put people over profit and make Scotland's services truly public. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social

Mossmorran joins Grangemouth in yet another bin fire example of the failure of governments to build a coherent industrial strategy which takes back control of vital infrastructure from private interests. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/hol...

Solidarity from Deputy General Secretary @lindasomerville.bsky.social to @unitetheunion.bsky.social members at Diligenta. Over 1000 members across the country taking strike action to oppose cuts to their pay is inspirational. Scotland's trade union movement stands with them.

For respect. For inclusion. For unity. We march for everyone this St Andrew’s Day.

The trade union movement and NASUWT were on the march in Aberdeen and Glasgow today. No room for racism ✊️

Proud to join with the trade union movement and wider community to celebrate St Andrews day at the Anti Racism march and rally today ✊ #NoRacism

UK energy bill payers to hand £2bn a year in subsidies to EDF, owned by the French govt, for building two nuclear power stations. That will come handy in keeping energy prices down in France, improving govt finances. Dividends won't be taxed in the UK. All because UK govts oppose public ownership

📢Speaker announcement: Councillor Laura Murtagh will address our Rally and how residents in Falkirk through Falkirk For All are seeking to unite, not divide, working people.

📢Speaker announcement: We welcome @scottishlabour.bsky.social leader @anassarwar.bsky.social to our St Andrew's Day March and Rally. His commitment - and that of all political leaders across Scotland - in stamping out prejudice and hatred is absolutely vital.

📢Speaker announcement: We're pleased to announce First Minister @johnswinney.bsky.social will help lead the STUC St Andrew's Day Anti-Racism & Anti-Fascism march and address delegates at the rally afterwards. We must build a united movement against all those who wish to divide us.

🙌 Delighted to welcome @scottishgreens.org Co-Leader @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social to help lead the STUC St Andrew's Day March and Rally. We need everyone, across every party, community and movement to united and unified against those who spread hatred and disfinformation.

By staving off short-term cuts, the Chancellor may have just played Labour’s ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card. 👇Full reaction to the UK Government Budget. www.stuc.org.uk/news/news/bu...

The decision over Cameron Barracks shows a political elite that, all too often, sidelines the voices of local residents. In doing so, they give a gift to the far-right. @rozfoyer.bsky.social/ @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/hol...

UK millionaires say 'we want to pay more tax'. Why is that UK govts only listen to the rich who resent paying tax and decent wages? The rich can't feel secure whilst masses live in poverty. Poor people can't buy goods/services to boost the economy.

It's no time for political infighting. The stakes are too high. The UK Government must deliver for working people and fast. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social
