Yes. It's Time for Full Powers Yes. It's time for full powers. The trade union movement in Scotland was a principal force in successfully campaigning for a Scottish Parliament. During STUC Congress in April, former Labour MP and Chair of Yes Scotland Dennis Canavan called on the trade union movement to ‘finish the job it started’ by campaigning for full powers in 2014. More and more trades unionists are campaigning for full powers for a purpose: to achieve fairness and social justice in Scotland we need political and economic power to make crucial changes that affect the lives of workers every day – for a safer working day, new skilled jobs in industry, security of decent wages, and a pensions system that rewards a life of hard work. For at least 35 years now, alternating UK governments haven’t worked for Scotland and Westminster hasn’t been listening to Scotland’s working people. Tony Blair’s marginal changes to employment rights still left them, in his own words, the "most restrictive" in the developed world. Now Ed Miliband proposes to cap welfare spending, and Ed Balls says pensions will be capped too. Is Westminster really the place where the labour movement can take a different path for workers in Scotland. And even if a future Labour government made some progress, what is the point if another Tory government undoes it all? Full Powers to achieve labour values in Scotland If the Scottish Parliament can be a beacon of social progress in devolved areas like free prescriptions and personal care, surely we could be a beacon of social progress in welfare, workers’ rights, and redistribution of wealth as an independent nation? We believe in the case for independence on the basis of the values and principles of the labour movement, a global movement. Our values of solidarity, fairness, and social justice are not limited by borders. We believe that the trade union movement can achieve most with full powers in Scotland. Congress shows we need full powers Our Trade Unions, and the STUC, are driven by labour values and are full of policy ideas to change the lives of working people. But how many of them will ever make the jump from conference resolution to Westminster policy? SCOTLAND’S FUTURE IN SCOTLAND’S HANDS YES_A4 PostSTUCLeaflet_VIZ 2_July13.indd 1 05/07/2013 20:53 Below are three resolutions that STUC Congress debated in April 2013. These are crucial to the lives of Scotland’s people. The question is: are these policies more likely to be delivered by Westminster, or by an independent government of Scotland? Welfare “…Congress deplores the despicable ‘welfare reform’ agenda of the Westminster Coalition Government….. Congress recognises this is not just patently unfair and self- defeating, it will set the nation back generations. Scotland stands to be among the hardest hit, where welfare cuts will amount to the equivalent of £100 for every man, woman and child being withdrawn from the Scottish economy. Already, initial impact reads like a horror story…” We know now that UK Labour intend to cap welfare at present levels, including pensions. Their priority is not the welfare of people but keeping taxes low and reducing the deficit. Independence would bring the chance to develop a new welfare system, tied to a fairer taxation system, that puts values of need and dignity at its heart and genuinely helps those for whom work does not pay enough. Austerity “Congress believes that austerity has clearly failed… a credible growth strategy with decent wages, stabilization of quality manufacturing jobs and regional equity at its core must be designed and implemented with the fill participation of trade union representatives” Macroeconomic policy is a reserved matter – and now we know that British Labour’s answer to austerity is more austerity. Both Scottish Labour and the SNP are opposed to austerity, so the only route out of austerity is for economic powers to be with the people of Scotland. With independence, the STUC and trades unions in Scotland can be part of forging an economic policy that makes employment, fair conditions and wages a priority, and leads to the sharing of economic abundance. Action for Rail “…Congress believes that the franchising process for railways in Scotland should allow for publicly controlled bodies, including the Scottish Government, to submit a ‘not-for-profit’ bid. Congress endorses the criticisms made that the remit of [the Brown] Review should have called for a root and branch overhaul franchising…” Independence would give the Scottish Parliament full powers over the railways, allowing Scotland to decide whether they should keep the current system, change to a not-for-profit system, or renationalise. This gives us a different option to privatising the railways, which is Westminster policy. It will also allow the development of an integrated transport system for Scotland. SCOTLAND’S FUTURE IN SCOTLAND’S HANDS YES_A4 PostSTUCLeaflet_VIZ 2_July13.indd 2 05/07/2013 20:53 Solidarity has no bounds Scotland is our focus, but the idea that Scottish trade unionists after independence would not continue work for a better future alongside the people of Newcastle, Cardiff and Hull, fails to appreciate what it means for solidarity to transcend national boundaries. What’s to stop us continuing to fight in solidarity with those in the rest of the UK? We have learned that Westminster is not the place where trade union demands are heard, and that even the British Labour party has to make too many compromises to City interests, and focusing on reducing the budget. We believe a Parliament with full powers is the best route for trade union values and objectives to be realised in Scotland. We all believe in solidarity in our values and principles, but also in fighting for real outcomes. A Scotland which pursues a better way, where trades unionists are involved in governance and economic policy, to deliver successful and progressive economic, social and welfare policies – this can only inspire and strengthen the arguments of Trade Unionists in other parts of these Isles. A thriving Scottish economy will be more of a boost to the North of England economy than any Westminster policy. Yes will deliver solidarity through result as well as sentiment. And just as solidarity does not stop at the Scottish border, nor should it at the UK border. Given we live and work in a common market of 500 million Europeans, shouldn’t that solidarity extend across the continent? Trade unionists in an independent Scotland can fight for rights and fair work in Europe and beyond. Trade Unionists for Yes is a campaign that supports full powers for Scotland and a Yes vote in the 2014 referendum. We believe that Westminster, regardless of its composition, isn't working for Scotland and doesn’t listen to the needs and aspirations of Scotland’s trade unions. We believe that our vision for a fairer, more socially just Scotland can only be achieved by bringing powers closer to home, and that with independence the Scottish trade union movement will be in a stronger position to bring about social and economic change to create a more equal society.

  • Andrew Mcfadyen's Story of Combining a Ph
    The Scotland-UN Committee Devolution and the Labour Myth James Wilkie As recently as twenty years ago few people dreamed that Scotland would ever reach the stage of being given the chance to vote for independence. It was a dream that for centuries had seemed beyond realisation, and many who had spent their entire lives working for it never lived to see the chance of realising it. So what triggered the change in its prospects? There is only one answer to this question – devolution. Without that there would have been no take-off platform for the independence rocket, no effective step in the direction of autonomy, and no basis for a nationalist government with the political authority to plan the road ahead. To put it with brutal candour, to this day we would still be waiting for the SNP to gain a majority of the Scottish seats at Westminster. So how did this vital intermediate step of devolution come to be realised, in the teeth of the determination of the entire London establishment right across the political spectrum to kill it at any and all cost? Here is one little-known aspect of the answer. Establishment hostility reached its sordid peak with the orgy of corruption that was the 1979 referendum. It is not the subject of this article and there is no need to repeat facts that we all know. Thatcher’s arrogant coup d’état in the face of a perfectly adequate majority vote similar to that of the 1975 EEC referendum left Scotland stunned, bewildered and disorientated.

  • How to Organise Small Scale Events
    How to Organise Small Scale Events Recent research carried out by Yes Scotland shows that a large majority of people are interested in receiving information about the referendum. However, many of these people will not see the appeal of attending some of the more traditional political campaigning events such as public meetings. Instead they may be more interested in attending something that has a more informal and intimate atmosphere. Events such as these will also allow for a more two-way interaction between Yes volunteers and the public than can be achieved at a meeting with speeches from a platform with a short questions and answer session. Below are two examples that have been held by local Yes groups. Another event worth a look at is Yescafé organised by Yes Highland. You can find out more on its very own Facebook page - www.facebook.com/YesCafeForIndependence Coffee Mornings Margaret Malcolm, YES Glasgow “We held a coffee morning in our area to reach out to people who might not come along to public meetings. Good contacts included a teacher who works locally and was keen to encourage a formal debate in her school, as a continuation of the kind of work she was doing in her former school. We also got someone along from the local Community Council who wanted to register as a volunteer, and get more details on the resources available from Yes locally and nationally that would help with her community's issues.” Coffee House Events June Martin, Yes Linlithgow “After a trip to The Burgh Coffee House in Stirling in January to listen to Dennis Canavan, I came away from the evening inspired and determined to put on the same type of event in Linlithgow.

Correspondence and papers, 1946-1990 and undated, of Peter Thomson concerning The Scottish Plebiscite Society. This society was formed by Peter Thomson (c.1914-1991) to press for a plebiscite on the question of a Scottish parliament. In 1949 it conducted its own plebiscite in Kirriemuir and in which 85% of the local electors participated. Thomson’s continuing activity for the cause resulted in his dismissal as sheriff of South Strathclyde in 1977. Following his dismissal, Thomson devoted his time to holding a series of privately-funded plebiscites in Scottish towns such as Stirling, Hawick, St. Andrews and Banff. After the 1979 referendum he campaigned for the independent oversight of government inspired polls to avoid the danger of bias and controlled elections expenditure to ensure parties fought on equal terms.

  • Spice Briefing 03/25 2003 Scottish Parliament Election Results
    SPICe ELECTION 2003 briefing ROSS BURNSIDE,STEPHEN HERBERT &STEPHEN CURTIS 6 May 2003 03/25 This paper provides analysis of the 2003 Scottish Parliament election and compares it with 1999. Many have claimed that the result has reshaped the landscape of Scottish politics, ending the traditional hegemony of the mainstream political parties, and allowing space for independent candidates to enter the political arena. This paper analyses what the results mean for the Scottish Parliament. It features contributions from various experts on Scottish Politics. John Curtice looks at the issue of turnout at the election and, among other things, what this means for the legitimacy of the Parliament. Peter Lynch analyses the state of the parties in the aftermath of polling day. Chris Eynon and Chris Martin look into what the pre-election opinion polls tell us about electoral behaviour. Douglas Fraser discusses the election campaign from the perspective of the political parties and the media. Finally, Nicola McEwen looks at regional voting patterns, and analyses how voters use of their 2nd “regional” vote affected the outcome of the election. The views expressed by these authors are their own, and do not represent the views of the Scottish Parliament. John Curtice is professor of Politics at the University of Strathclyde. Peter Lynch is a lecturer in Politics at the University of Stirling. Chris Eynon is the Group Managing Director of NFO System Three in Edinburgh.
