Fears of plans to privatise Scottish Water

"Tommy Sheridan, leader of the Scottish Socialist Party, said the announcement was a scandal and urged Ross Finnie, the former environment minister, to intervene immediately.

"My fear is that it is being driven towards privatisation. We have to make a stand. The unions must fight to save these jobs."

"As far as I'm concerned Ross Finnie is still a minister until May 1. He should intervene to prevent any immediate job losses until parliament can debate the issue and see whether these jobs can be saved."
