Scots 'sick to death' of excuses over failure to reform 'illogical council tax EXCLUSIVE: Roz Foyer blasted Scotland's political parties for failing to reform a system the SNP first promised to scrap in 2007.

Communities in Scotland have been failed by those unwilling to take the radical decisions needed to change our economy for the better.

The broken council tax must go. It's time for action, not political cowardice.

Outsourcing across Scotland’s local authorities up by 40 per cent, says STUC Scotland’s largest trade union body has called for a major shift in how public services are delivered, warning that a sharp rise in outsourcing is…

Our new report shows that outsourcing from local authorities has increased by 40%.

Workers are being fleeced for poor public services that are generating profits for private interests rather than the public good.

Culture campaigners demand politicians end era of crisis, cuts and 'exploitation' Industry groups set out their own manifestos urging rethink over support for Scottish culture.

We know that Scotland can be a world leader in the arts and culture.

But not while workers’ rights are ridden roughshod and government stands idly by.

Change must come – our creative unions will lead the way #STUC26

Reform 'gateway drug to fascism' top Scots trade unionist claims to voters Roz Foyer, general secretary of the STUC, also warned mainstream politicians in 'last chance saloon' to deliver for working people.

Reform can’t cosplay as saviours of the working class whilst pledging to strip workers’ rights and cutting taxes for the rich.

We’ll protect workers – they’ll protect the profiteers. #STUC26

Nationalised industry is good for workers and good for communities, says STUC chief Nationalised industry is good for workers and good for communities. Politicians should cease and desist from the asset stripping and selling off, to…

Why should workers continue to line the pockets of energy giants and multinationals.

It's time politicians took control and gave us real energy security. That means taking national stakes in our industry.

Scotland's political parties who seek to govern need to provide a positive and progressive alternative to those who seek to divide.

Following the publicly popular calls in our manifesto would be a good place to start.

People are sick of failed Tory politicians cosplaying as working-class champions.

Reform’s manifesto is fantasy economics that cuts taxes for the rich whilst killing our public services.

They look out for the wealthy – we look out for the workers
