SNP unite with trade unions in opposition to Tory strike bill

The STUC and the SNP’s Westminster leader Stephen Flynn have pledged “outright opposition” to the Tory Government’s Strikes Bill at a meeting between the two parties.

Following a letter sent from STUC General Secretary Roz Foyer to Flynn last year, exclusively revealed by The National, the two leaders met in Westminster to discuss how to work together to oppose the UK Government’s unrelenting attacks on workers rights.

They were joined by SNP deputy leader at Westminster Mhairi Black and the STUC deputy leader Linda Sommerville, as well as SNP MP Chris Stephens.
