The state of the manufacturing industry in Scotland is always one to generate a range of opinions. Optimists will point to the success of Scottish firms especially in the technology sectors as signs of a bright future. Others will point at the service sector as the way forward for economic growth. The Scottish trade unions have now weighed in with their own views in a report entitled The Future of Manufacturing in Scotland. Not one to mince words they argue that there has been "..too much complacency over the overall decline of manufacturing as a total share of employment in Scotland." and make a number of key recommendations on how to address these issues. Well timed for the forthcoming Holyrood elections.
