THE Tories must act to stop the disruption to Scotland’s railways due to strike action against UK Government-controlled train companies, the First Minister and the Scottish Trades Union Congress have said in a rare joint statement.
Nicola Sturgeon said that the UK Government’s refusal to engage with rail workers was having a “major impact” on Scottish services.
And the STUC’s general secretary, Roz Foyer, called on the Westminster government to follow the lead set by its Scottish counterpart in reaching a deal with the trade unions.
