Trade unions may call one-day strike across Scotland

Concerted nationwide industrial action has moved a step closer after one of the country’s biggest trade unions backed calls to consider a one-day strike in Scotland.

Unison’s Scottish council yesterday passed a resolution that could lead to several trade unions striking on the same day next month.

The call came as the UK Government pushes ahead with plans to make the deepest cuts to public spending in decades.
