Cathy Jamieson and Bill Butler standing firm with UNISON Scotland

MSPs Cathy Jamieson and Bill Butler, UNISON Scotland's nominees for Scottish Labour Leader and Deputy, both confirmed their support for the Fair Pay campaign by making solidarity visits to local picket lines. Cathy spoke at Motherwell and then at the rally at George Square in Glasgow. She is pictured here with Dave Prentis and Mike Kirby.

She said: "I have always campaigned against low pay and the current offer will leave many low paid workers substantially worse off. Rising fuel and food prices are hitting workers hard. I wanted to express my support for Unison members and those of the other trade unions taking action."
