P&O bosses faced a furious backlash from their Scottish workforce yesterday after they fired 800 workers.
The ferry operator’s Cairnryan base was targeted by angry campaigners who demanded their jobs back after being fired to make way for cheaper casual labour.
Protestors were incensed that workers, including 83 at the Cairnryan to Larne route, were sacked virtually on the spot, with zero notice period, with an army of casual workers lined up to replace them.
