Trade union Unite has dismissed a revised average 7 per cent pay deal as a 'cynical publicity stunt'.
Strikes at the Scottish Qualifications Authority will go ahead on Thursday, after a new pay offer failed to halt the industrial action.
She said: "I appreciate there's been concern about the impact of potential industrial action at SQA on the appeals process. I share that concern. General Secretary Sharon Graham said: "Unite's SQA members are set to take different forms of industrial action due to a pay offer which still represents a substantial real terms pay cut for the lowest paid. It is completely unacceptable and we will stand up for our members' jobs, pay and conditions at the SQA because they deserve better."
"The last-minute offer is nothing but a cynical publicity stunt designed to blame the workers who have no option but to take industrial action due to the procrastination displayed by both the SQA and Scottish Government."
