In these special episodes of the podcast, we’ll be hearing from some of the people who spoke to Daniel Gray for the STUC book ‘Mon the Workers: Celebrating 125 Years of the Scottish Trades Union Congress. Published by Luath Press and available in all the usual places, it includes interviews with 75 trade unionists and portrait photographs of a further 50.
This time, we hear the words of Coll McCail. A young climate activist, Coll was galvanised by the Fridays For Future school strikes of 2019. COP26 – the UN Climate Change Conference, held in Glasgow in 2021 – saw him and his fellow activists come together with trade unionists, casting a template for united action. Here, Coll begins by relaying the inspirations behind his trade union principles.
