(Photograph) - The leader of the Scottish National Party, John Swinney, met striking nursery nurses in Angus last week. The MSP for North Tayside said afterwards, 'I am determined to see that a settlement is reached in this dispute. It is ludicrous that a national settlement is not offered to nursery nurses. If teachers can have a national settlement, why can't our nursery nurses? They provide as vital a service as teachers by preparing our children for later life. It is time the Scottish Executive takes some decisive action on this issue.' Photo Paul Reid
