UNISON Labour Link Scotland today decided to nominate Richard Leonard MSP in the election for a new Leader of the Scottish Labour Party.
This followed a consultation with branch Labour Link officers which came out overwhelmingly in favour of his nomination.
UNISON Labour Link Scotland Chair Gordon McKay said:
“UNISON Labour Link is pleased to nominate Richard Leonard. He has consistently supported our values and understands that we need real and bold change in Scotland. We share Richard’s vision of a society based on full employment in a sustainable economy, funding properly our public services, providing dignity for our pensioners and hope for our young.”
