Scottish Morning Star Conference Autumn 2011 - New Powers for Scottish parliament: Morning Session
http://www.morningstaronline.co.uk
The 2011 election has pushed the question of the Scottish parliament and its powers to the top of the political agenda. The Scottish government is currently calling for the inclusion of Corporation Tax within its remit. An independence referendum is promised within five years.
However, for the trade union movement the real question is another one: how far can new parliamentary powers be translated into power for and by working people.

Morning Star's push to fight off cuts - Star Conference Glasgow Sun 11 March 2012
Trade unionists, left politicians and activists from across Scotland will attend a Morning Star conference in Glasgow on Sunday to broaden the battlefront against the coalition's cuts.
Conference chairwoman Pat Stuart is expected to call on delegates to build an alliance to expose "the political and economic bankruptcy of the government's policies and pose a progressive alternative."
PCS union Scottish secretary Lynn Henderson will underline the gravity of the current economic crisis, but stress that "there is an alternative - investment in public services, transport, housing and the green economy funded through scrapping Trident and tax justice."
Other speakers will include Morning Star deputy editor Richard Bagley, Stephen Boyd of the STUC and Labour MSP Drew Smith.
