What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to negotiate with the UK Government to ensure that in any future EU withdrawal agreement, Scotland retains the power to provide state aid to workplaces threatened with closure; take public utilities such as rail, bus and power fully back into public ownership and require public sector contractors to recognise trade unions and collectively bargain wages.

What the petitioner did first

We have raised these issues directly with MSPs privately and via public meetings.

    These are the issues that governments at Westminster, Holyrood and elsewhere should be actively pursuing.
