Press Release
Unite reaction to resignation of David Cairns
16 September 2008
Unite Scottish Secretary John Quigley said: “It is regrettable to hear of the resignation of David Cairns from his post of Minister of State for Scotland in what is a crucial time for Labour in Scotland and across the UK. Last weekend Labour in Scotland elected a new leader which should put the Party on the front foot in the fight against the SNP and Tories in Scotland and the advancement of the interests of working people and their families.
"It would be better if David Cairns - and all Labour politicians and activists - took to the streets of Glenrothes along with the Prime Minister Gordon Brown to secure a Labour victory in the forthcoming by-election. What Labour needs at this time is unity, not division. This is what Unite’s hard-working members and their families demand. “
