‘Scandalous betrayal’: MPs condemn P&O Ferries mass sacking of 800 staff
The Guardian says Ministers and trade unions have condemned P&O Ferries’ mass sacking of 800 British seafarers to replace them with agency crew as shameful and “completely unacceptable”, amid furious calls for action against the company’s Dubai owners.
P&O Ferries’ services could be suspended for up to 10 days, disrupting its cross-Channel and Irish Sea routes, after an extraordinary day in which the operator sacked its entire British seafaring staff without notice. They learned the news of their redundancy via a pre-recorded video message this morning.
Politicians on both sides called on the government to act to stop what Labour and trade unions called a “scandalous betrayal”.
