Tribute to Campbell Christie
The motion
That the Parliament pays tribute to Campbell Christie, committed trade unionist, husband, father, colleague and friend; notes with sadness the passing of Campbell Christie; considers that he gave an outstanding life of service to the trade union movement, which included serving as General Secretary of the STUC from 1986 to 1998; notes that he was appointed a CBE in 1997 to mark his significant contribution to society; considers that Campbell Christie led the STUC with enormous integrity, passion and competence at a time of great difficulty for industry and workers in Scotland; thanks him for his role in bringing a devolved parliament to Scotland; acknowledges his international work and dedication to public life, continued long after his retirement from the STUC and up until very recently; sends its sincere condolences to his wife, Betty, and his family, and celebrates his life and work, which it considers have made Scottish society stronger, more equitable and the country a better one in which to work and live.
