Industrial action expected 6pm on 27 December
The union behind industrial action on the Steam Packet Company has labelled comments from the ferry operator that it's an 'easy target' as 'disrespectful'.

Brian Thomson - the managing director of the Steam Packet - thinks the action won't impact passengers too much.
But the Senior National Organiser Garry Elliot says this could've all been avoided:
