Union slams Trump for double dealing at Scottish resort

The RMT has accused US president Donald Trump of rank hypocrisy after learning that he has received ‎permission to build a second multi-million pound golf course in Scotland while cutting jobs at the Turnberry golf course and resort.

The union says that the move confirms that the claims that the cuts at Turnberry were due to Covid are “a con” and that the real motive was to cut jobs, hire and fire at will and ditch improvements to pay and conditions, using the coronavirus pandemic as a cover.

"It is rank hypocrisy of the highest order for the Trump Operation to blame the pandemic and a cash crisis for the axing of dozens of ‎staff at Turnberry while at the same time they were planning all along to spend millions on a new course,” said RMT general secretary Mick Cash.

“There is no shortage of money and all they ever wanted was to use the pandemic as a cloak for slashing the head count and working conditions and exploiting a global crisis to rule by fear.”
