Union seeks meeting over harbours plan

Saturday 11th March 2006, 12:00AM GMT.

THE trade union which represents 48 Jersey Harbours workers opposed to being transferred to another States department wants to meet politicians to express concerns about the proposed changes.

The workers are not happy about being transferred to Transport and Technical Services.

But the union was told on Thursday that if Jersey Harbours is incorporated, any decision on whether its engineering services should be privatised will be made by the Council of Ministers.
