Coastguard workers to walk out on Wednesday

Shetland Coastguard workers will walk out tomorrow (Wednesday) in a row over pay and conditions.

Members of the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) will hold a workplace strike and will picket outside the Shetland Coastguard building on Knab Road from 9am on Wednesday.

The PCS is calling for workers in the Maritime Coastguard Agency to get a pay rise of 10 per cent, along with no redundancies.
