Councillor Donald Manford, Chairman of Comhairle nan Eilean Siar’s Transportation Committee, has called on the Scottish Executive to directly intervene in the current disagreement between the Caledonian MacBrayne and the Rail, Maritime and Transport Union. Cllr. Donald Manford commented: “The original dispute between Caledonian MacBrayne and RMT over terms and conditions has now moved to one of lack of trust between the two parties. It is essential that the progress that has been made is maintained to date. “I therefore ask the First Minister and the Minister for Transport as Shareholders in the company to become directly involved in a mediating role for the benefit of the Island communities that Cal-Mac serves.” Nigel Scott Tel: 01851 709389 (Work) |
