Scottish TUC's Grahame Smith meets with Catalan trade unions

Conference speech focuses on the 'right to decide' Catalunya's future

Scottish TUC general secretary Grahame Smith will today address Catalan trade unions on issues of social justice and the “right to decide.”

Mr Smith is speaking at a conference of the Confederacion Sindical de Comisiones Obreras (CCOO) about the STUC’s A Just Scotland initiative, which aims to put “the social justice agenda and our vision of the type of Scotland we want at the heart of the referendum debate.”

He said: “The CCOO will be intensifying its campaign for the ‘right to decide’ Catalonia’s future relationship with the rest of Spain by focusing, as the STUC has done in Scotland, on a progressive vision for Catalonia based on equality and the extension of social and labour rights.”
