Cathy welcomes union support

10 August 2008


Cathy Jamieson has welcomed the endorsement of USDAW, the shop and distributive workers union, and ASLEF, the railworkers union in her bid to become Labour Leader in the Scottish Parliament.

She said:

"I am pleased that two such significant and influential unions have offered their support to me.

"Trade Unions represent a very important part of life in Scotland and the issues worrying trade union members reflect the worries of many more Scots.

"These are the first unions to declare and I will be working hard over the next week to try to secure more Trade Union support."

Keith Norman ASLEF's General Secretary said:

"Our union shares Cathy's vision for social justice in Scotland.

"We know her as a forthright and open politician and welcome her understanding of our union and our industry."
