Glasgow firm accused of helping P&O 'fire and rehire' staff and supplying 'scab workforce'

A Glasgow-based firm has been accused of helping P&O Ferries rehire staff they sacked this month on new contracts.

Clyde Marine Recruitment (CMR) is helping ex-staff return to the company, and has been accused by the RMT trade union of "desperately phoning round staff who had been disgracefully sacked" and supplying a "scab workforce", reports the Daily Record.

The company, which said it had “no prior knowledge” of the mass firing plan, has confirmed they helped around 30 former P&O staff while others are in the process of being re-hired.
