RMT union members at CalMac to take industrial action
- Published
The industrial action will be taken on CalMac's Clyde and Hebrides network
RMT union members of Caledonian MacBrayne's workforce will take industrial action next week.
The employees will refuse to work overtime on 24 and 25 June on the ferry operator's Clyde and Hebrides services.
The workers have also been instructed not to book on for any duty on 26 June if a ship is in port.
The dispute between the union and the publically-owned company is over job security, conditions and pensions.
RMT said last week that its members voted by 92% for strike action and by 98% for action short of a strike in a turnout of 60%.
Overall, 55% of the total number eligible to vote backed strike action and 58% of the total eligible voted for action short of a strike.
CalMac has previously said it would seek to minimise any disruption from industrial action, and remained committed to continuing talks with all trade unions
