RMT warns against privatising CalMac

The RMT has called for a meeting with ministers in response to press reports that the Scottish government is planning to privatise the contract for ferry services in the west of Scotland.

RMT general secretary, Mick Lynch said: “Our CalMac members already faced a ‘perfect storm’ from the ageing fleet, Covid risks, severe winter weather and the cold shoulder from SNP ministers. It’s imperative that the first minister, and the new transport minister get around the table with RMT to allay our concern that the Scottish government has changed its policy and is now seeking to privatise CalMac services.”
