STUC general secretary Bill Speirs insisted yesterday that the return of a Labour government is "in the best interests of Scottish workers and their families."
"The STUC opposed the Iraq war. We would also have preferred that the govenment had taken a different approach on some domestic issues," Mr Speirs told congress.
"However, while we have concerns about the details and the direction of some of the government's policies, it is clear that the Conservative manifesto is incompetent, socially unjust and impossible for the trade union movement to support," he said.
Mr Speirs called on all trade unionists to make every effort to vote on May 5.
