Please see the link below for information regarding a survey on Fair Work being undertaken by the Scottish Government.
The survey is aimed at members of the workforce working in services contracted by public sector bodies.
What is Fair Work First?
It is the Scottish Government’s policy to promote high-quality work and workforce diversity across Scotland. It sets out seven key principles:
- Paying at least the real Living Wage
- Giving workers a genuine voice, such as through trade union recognition
- Investing in workforce development
- Avoiding inappropriate use of zero-hours contracts
- Tackling workplace inequalities
- Offering flexible and family-friendly working from day one
- Opposing “fire and rehire” practices wherever possible
These principles make a real difference to people, communities, and the economy.
Why are we contacting you now?
The Scottish Government is reviewing how Fair Work First is working in practice. They want to hear from employees about:
- Awareness and understanding of Fair Work First
- Any changes or benefits you’ve noticed
