The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what action it will take to resolve the industrial action being taken by Careers Scotland staff in light of recent actions by Scottish Enterprise to resolve the dispute.
The answer
Under the delegated pay arrangements for Non Departmental Public Bodies, Scottish Enterprise has full responsibility for conducting pay negotiations with its own staff within the terms of a remit agreed beforehand with Scottish ministers. It is therefore for Scottish Enterprise, as the employer, to resolve the present industrial action. I will, however, continue to encourage Scottish Enterprise and the unions to resume negotiations as the best way of reaching agreement.
