Workers at Caledonian MacBrayne (CalMac) have won an improved pay deal after a strong campaign, RMT has announced.
The agreement includes:

- 4% fully consolidated, pensionable salary uplift for all staff, backdated to October 2024.

- £300 consolidated payment for shore-based nightwatchmen, retail assistants, and cleaners.

- 37 days of annual leave for all shore-based workers.

RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch said: “This is a deserved victory for our members, who stood strong for a fair deal. These workers provide lifeline services to Scotland’s island communities and deserve recognition for the vital work they do.”
