Union bosses fear other operators could follow the mass sacking of staff by P&O Ferries.
There have been protests on Merseyside afte r P&O Ferries sacked 800 workers over zoom. Today it emerged a second firm could also sack its crew and replace them with cheaper agency workers if Boris Johnson fails to block P&O’s sudden dismissal of hundreds of staff, reports the Mirror.
DFDS, which employs 2,700 crew members, lorry drivers and office staff in the UK, has told Transport Secretary Grant Shapps it will be unable to compete if P&O’s move to pay wages as low as £5.50 an hour is not overturned.
