STUC comment: First Minister resignation

February 15th 2023

Commenting on the resignation of First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, STUC General Secretary Roz Foyer:

“Throughout her leadership, the First Minister has shown a consistently high level of respect for the role of trade unions in Scotland and has been committed to working with us to establish Scotland as a Fair Work nation.

“Whilst we haven’t always agreed, there can be no doubt that we deeply valued our working relationship, working collaboratively on behalf of Scotland’s workers. This has, in no small part, been indicative of her leadership and personal commitment to respecting the function and position of the STUC and Scotland’s trade union movement. This will, undoubtedly, be a legacy of her time as First Minister and we look forward to continuing that collaborative work with the Scottish Government.

“I want to personally thank the First Minister for her unparalleled, long-standing public service to Scotland. We wish her all good wishes for the future.”
