P&O were branded “immoral and aggressive” and told they were “acting like gangsters” as protests against the mass sackings took place in ports across the UK today.
The Government is investigating whether P&O broke the law when the firm fired 800 crew without notice on Thursday, many by pre-recorded video message.
All Government contracts with P&O Ferries and its wealthy Dubai-based owner, DP World, are now under “review” and every P&O vessel must be inspected by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency before going to sea with their new crews.
