P&O Ferries has taken on agency workers from abroad for as little as £1.82 an hour and some had to live in tents, a Labour MP has claimed.
Karl Turner, who has been dealing with the shipping company for years in his Hull East constituency, said that migrant workers were expected to work 12-hour shifts for eight weeks at a time.
The Dubai-owned company has sacked 800 workers, replacing them with agency staff who, according to the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union, are earning less than the £8.91 minimum wage.
