Around 10 sailings take place per day in January from Rathlin Island to Ballycastle
Ferry sailings between Rathlin Island and Ballycastle have been cancelled on Thursday due to industrial action.
The Union added: "With the latest twelve month retail price inflation standing at 14.0%, another year’s pay freeze would amount to a real-terms pay cut of more than a one-seventh of their wage."In a statement from December warning of the possibility of strike action, regional officer for the workforce, Brenda Stevenson, said: “The Rathlin Island Ferry workers perform a vital role in sustaining a community and the economy of Northern Ireland’s largest offshore island.
"Rathlin is a vibrant community with a unique history and heritage. Government needs to provide support for small and vulnerable communities, and I will be putting this to Julie Harrison, Permanent Secretary of the DfI, in the strongest terms. A spokesperson for the Department for Infrastructure confirmed emergency cover will remain in place during the strike period.
