Caledonian MacBrayne Pay and Conditions
- Submitted by: Kenneth Gibson, Cunninghame North, Scottish National Party.
- Date lodged: Wednesday, 08 May 2013
- Motion reference: S4M-06510
- Current status: Achieved cross-party support
That the Parliament is concerned that Caledonian MacBrayne proposals could see some port staff, in offices such as Largs, Ardrossan and Brodick, receive pay cuts of up to 25%, effectively putting some employees on wages that they were on 20 years ago and putting them under severe financial pressure; understands that Caledonian MacBrayne made a pre-tax profit of £4.1 million in 2012-13, achieved technical reliability and punctuality levels of 99.9% and 99.7% respectively and also achieved 100% in customer service efficiency; believes that these excellent results are due to the hard work and professionalism of Caledonian MacBrayne staff, including those whose pay and conditions would be dramatically lowered should these proposals go ahead, and notes calls for Caledonian MacBrayne not to proceed with these proposals and to honour existing staff contracts.
