Liverpool Airport has made a kind gesture to staff who were sacked by P&O Ferries via video message.
Hundreds of people attended a protest at the Port of Liverpool this afternoon against P&O's decision to terminate the contracts of all of their workers on Thursday. Staff were told the news in a pre-recorded message on Zoom.
The company will use an agency to keep their ferries running and current staff will be able to apply to the agency for work. CEO of P&O Ferries, Peter Hebblethwaite, said the firm was forced to take the 'difficult but necessary' decision after losing £100million year on year.
