A man who took P&O Ferries to court for unfair dismissal after he refused the company's redundancy offer and gagging order has won a huge sum. John Lansdown, 40, says he has won a settlement from the ferry company.
On March 17 this year, 800 seafarers were sacked by the firm to be replaced with a cheaper foreign workforce. John has since given "tens of thousands" to The Sailors Children's Society to provide food and heating for seafarers' children during the cost of living crisis, reports HullLive.
John, who started working at the ferry company at 16, said: "This is hugely important not just for myself but for all British citizens employed within the maritime industry and for employment rights and industrial relations for British workers. I’ve been left to fight this single-handedly after the UK Government failed to take any meaningful action against them.
