Chief Minister to meet with Steam Packet bosses to find out what's going on

The Chief Minister and the Treasury Minister will meet with the Chairman and Managing Director of the Steam Packet this morning to receive an update on the current industrial dispute.

As it stands the workers are taking action short of strike, which has already led to the Steam Packet having to reduce down to one sailing a day.

The Chief Minister said he wants to understand more regarding the background to the dispute and what plans are in place for resolution.

He also said they will seek reassurance around contingency planning to maintain an essential service level for our sea service.
