Two long-serving P&O Ferries workers yesterday told how they’ve dedicated half their lives to the firm – only to be cruelly sunk without trace by the heartless bosses.
Chefs Mark Patterson and Alan McCulloch, of Stranraer, never missed a shift during lockdown or took a penny of furlough, as they kept their ship sailing between Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The men, both 59, are among 800 to be given the boot – to be replaced by what union bosses are calling “an army of scab labour”, on lower wages.
