DOES the independence movement generally, and the SNP in particular, have an issue with industrial action by trade unions?
officials were cheered to the rafters by delegates at a packed fringe meeting. Yet none of those speakers held back from legitimate criticism of the way devolved powers are currently being used, or from calls for a more radical approach to tax and economic issues.
This is because any winning political case for independence is inseparable from the case for a transformation of the Scottish economy in favour of working people, families and communities. within the party about the importance of solidarity with and among working people as the means of building a new Scotland is insufficient.With more focus and resources on this, the kind of ignorant, kneejerk responses to trade union action for better pay, conditions, services and public investment could be addressed far more thoroughly.
