The Scottish Government review of ferry services is threatening privatisation and cuts in services, particularly the Clyde and Hebrides routes. The Government is examining the current structure and operation of existing routes and bundles which receive public subsidy. The meetings, organised in association with the Western Isles Trades Council and sister shipping union Nautilus, will give the public a chance to find out just how immediate the threat is to their life-line services and to plan a way forward for the campaign:
