#STUC24 The STUC will add its voice to calls for an urgent public enquiry into the
Scottish Government’s ScotWind auction which sold off Scotland’s offshore wind
rights at a knock down price, underselling by billions of pounds.
Kate Ramsden
Kate Ramsden on behalf of Aberdeen Trades Union Council seconded the motion from Moray Trade Union Council.
She condemned this sale of public assets, which has put money in the hands of big business to make their profits with, as it stands, no benefit to Scotland or local communities.
Kate added, “We need to know what went wrong - conspiracy or cock-up so that our demands for a just transition can be more than a pipe dream.
“The Scottish government needs to stop selling off our public assets at knock down prices - or at all,” she said, adding that it also needs to stop using private consultants at a cost of mega bucks.
“We need to know how the ScotWind debacle has come
about but more importantly, how Scotland can still benefit from the current
project.”
