Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard
SCOTTISH LABOUR’S left-wing leadership must hold firm against “naysayers” who want the party to move back to the right, a leading trade unionist has stressed.
Writing in today’s Morning Star as the party starts its three-day annual conference in Dundee, the Communication Workers Union’s Scotland secretary Craig Anderson argues that that Richard Leonard, who has led the party since the autumn of 2017, “offers a break from the managerialism that haunts the Scottish Parliament.”
He argues that Mr Leonard’s leadership is “committed to genuine partnership with the trades unions,” and that trade unions “should rejoice at that.”
