MARCH 14: MEMBERS OF maritime union RMT at Caledonian MacBrayne have voted by two to one for strike action to defend their jobs, pay, conditions and pensions.
The ballot followed the company’s failure to provide assurances that there would be no compulsory redundancies and no worsening of pensions, pay and conditions for its present or future workforce.
The union had sought the assurances after advertisements seeking tenders for the Gourock-Dunoon route were placed last month.
“Our members have voted decisively for action to defend their jobs, pay, conditions and pensions,” said RMT general secretary Bob Crow.
“We will now be consulting with our port committee to decide on the next steps.
“After three weeks’ silence from the company, I hope they will now see fit to get around the table with us to negotiate guarantees for the terms and conditions of the people who work hard to provide these lifeline ferry services,” Bob Crow said.
