P&O workers sacked over Zoom call were ‘given five minutes to get off ship’

A woman has blasted P&O Ferries bosses after her husband and son were made redundant today, claiming the travel company has behaved "highly immoral" and been "insulting" towards staff.

Some 800 workers were told via a Zoom call their contracts were terminated due to losses of more than £200 million in two years.

Staff were said to have been told at 11am and according to an anonymous source were given “five minutes to get their stuff and get off the ship”.
