Speaking in Glasgow World, (https://www.glasgowworld.com/news/politics/better-public-transport-major-issue-for-east-centre-council-candidates-3680306) Scottish TUSC candidate fo Glasgow's East Centre ward Socialist Party Scotland organiser and Unite member Matt Dobson , who has lived in the East End for 10 years said
"the main issue (for working class communities in this election) is the cost of living crisis.
“Scottish TUSC is campaigning for above inflation pay rises for council and all workers.
"There needs to be mass public investment in cleansing services and a reversal of cuts.
“The equal pay women need to be fully compensated and there needs to be a fair pay scheme. As a socialist councillor I would propose a no cuts budget and build a mass campaign for the funding the city needs.
“We need to campaign for the nationalisation of energy to cut fuel bills."
An experienced socialist campaigner, Matt helped build the local Anti-bedroom tax campaign and has been a regular at picket lines across the city.
Recently Matt spoke to scottishtusc.org about Scottish TUSC's support for calls from Glasgow City Trade Unions for councils to refuse to implement austerity and to instead set no-cuts budgets which meet the need of communities. Watch that video here:
If you want to see genuine, socialist change in this election vote for Matt or one of the other Scottish TUSC candidates on Thursday.
