“We’re not focusing on what happens if the Labour Party get in or the Tory Party get in. We have our agenda of where we believe public services should be in the future, we have our agenda of what we think is needed to respond to some of the issues in the public sector and we would want to speak to whatever party is in power if they can demonstrate that they see merit and would want to work with us towards delivering that,” said Dougie.
With a Scottish Parliament election next year and local government elections the year after, the union will continue to ask why should service users and public sector workers pay the price for the bankers that gambled with the country’s money? Why should the public sector pay the price while the banking industry has been allowed to walk away with just a slap on the wrist and a few more regulations?
“Our Public Works campaign is not something that’s going to stand still. As I’ve said, it’s the start of a campaign that we see continuing for a number of years and clearly whichever party comes to power after 6 May and whatever the shape of the Government in the UK is, it is going to influence very clearly what direction the public sector is going to go thereafter", said Dougie.
