Commenting on the Scottish election results announced so far, UNISON Scottish secretary Lilian Macer said today (Friday):
“We look forward to working with MSPs who want to build a better, more inclusive and compassionate Scotland. That starts by repairing the country’s public services.
“The people have spoken and now expect those who hold power to deliver for them. Public services were at the heart of the election debates because they matter to families.
“It’ll be incumbent on the new government to invest in them properly, protect public service jobs and improve the lives of those who depend on them.”
