On Merchant Navy day 2025 please take a minute to think of the brave seafarers who kept the country supplied through two World Wars.

Please also bear in mind the vital role our members play to this very day and think of those far from home and family today.

[RMT Glasgow Shipping Branch @rmtgsb]

You may have seen a letter from a self-proclaimed ferry expert in the Herald yesterday attacking our members within Calmac. The Herald dedicated a special Facebook and X post highlighting it. They have failed to do so with Gordon Martins' reply, so here it is.
