The shamed boss of P&O Ferries is to miss out on a shipping summit after an outcry from seafarers he illegally sacked.
Peter Hebblethwaite, who admitted breaking the law when he axed 800 workers without notice in March, was booked to speak at the Interferry conference on Monday.
He was meant to talk about “Power and People” at the event in Seattle, US, where tickets cost up to £1,920.
