Question
To ask the Scottish Government what it is doing to ensure that any trade union representatives elected to a college board of management are given sufficient remission from their day job in order to undertake any responsibilities relating to their participation in board business.
Answer
Facility time for trade union officials is key to ensuring trade unions can effectively represent members and reflect the staff voice in college decision making. However, remission in order to undertake trade union duties is an operational matter for individual colleges.
