CalMac blasted for pay refusal
The ferry MV Glen Sannox travels down slipway at its launch ceremony for the liquefied natural gas passenger ferry, the UK's first LNG ferry, at Ferguson Marine Engineering in Port Glasgow
SCOTLAND’s largest ferry operator has been blasted by trade unions after refusing staff a decent pay rise despite awarding directors a large wage increase.
The Transport Salaried Staffs’ Association (TSSA) has hit out at Caledonian MacBrayne (CalMac) over the company’s continued opposition to any more than a “miserly” 0.5 per cent pay rise for workers.
Estimates suggest that such a pay rise would cost the company — which made over £7 million in profit last year — just £450,000.
