RMT to hold ferry nationalisation meeting on Orkney
A PUBLIC meeting on the Orkney Islands is to hear calls for the nationalisation of ferry services which are their lifeline with mainland Scotland.
The Orkneys comprise 70 islands, 20 of them inhabited.
The five-vessel NorthLink ferry service linking them with each other and the mainland is operated by privateer Serco and subsidised by the Scottish government.
