Dear Philippe,
Message of Condolence
On behalf of the General Council of the Scottish Trades Union Congress please accept my deepest condolences for the victims of the terrorist attack that took place in Paris on Friday night. The whole Scottish trade union movement expresses its sorrow for all those who lost their lives or were injured in this brutal night of violence.
We stand in solidarity with the people of France who showed such resilience and bravery as the tragic events unfolded. Following these tragedies we, in the trade union movement, must be resolute in ensuring human rights and freedoms prevail over the brutality that has been witnessed in Paris and across the world by the so called Islamic State. In solidarity and friendship,
Yours sincerely,
Grahame Smith
General Secretary
