A crucial discussion and vote at @ScottishTUC Congress on our motion to oppose the increase in military spending. It’s never been more important to prioritise welfare and wages and not more war and militarism.

[Stop The War Scotland @stwscotland]

🚨 The @ScottishTUC has voted to oppose immediate increases in military spending, reaffirming that the Scottish trade union movement’s priority is “welfare and wages not weapons and war.”

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

University employers should be ashamed of treating hard working staff in this way which is why our members in Glasgow, Strathclyde and Edinburgh Napier will fight for better #JobsPayConditions by taking a stand against this appalling treatment.
