P&O Ferries boss should quit after ‘brazen’ mass sackings, says Shapps
The Guardian says the transport secretary, Grant Shapps, has called for the chief executive of P&O Ferries to resign over the sacking of 800 workers and pledged to force the ferry company to reverse the move and pay its crew the minimum wage.
Peter Hebblethwaite admitted to MPs on Thursday that his company broke the law by sacking the 800 workers without consultation.
Shapps said Hebblethwaite’s performance in front of the transport and business committees was “brazen, breathtaking, and showed incredible arrogance”.
Speaking to Sky News, Shapps said: “I cannot believe that he can stay in that role having admitted to deliberately going out and using a loophole – well, break the law – but also use a loophole.
