Top bosses from P&O Ferries have been summoned to appear before MPs after the "shameful" mass sacking without warning of all UK crew.
The company provoked widespread outrage last Thursday when 800 workers were fired via a pre-recorded video message.
Shortly after the sackings, footage emerged of workers being marched off ships by balaclava-clad security staff in what the RMT union described as "one of the most shameful episodes in its recent industrial history".
