Fair Work

Jimmy Reid Foundation - Fair Work Survey

Your help is needed to assess ‘Fair Work’ in Scotland. The Scottish Government has determined that Scotland will become a Fair Work Nation by 2025. To evaluate this policy, Dave Watson from the Jimmy Reid Foundation is undertaking independent research to ask union reps their understanding and experience of Fair Work and what more can be done to make it more effective.
When the data from the questionnaire is compiled, all responses will be anonymised. The only reason we ask for your name is so that we can work out who has filled out the survey. Asking for your union position is to be able to identify that the views of workplace representatives, in particular, are gained.
