Unions turned up the heat on P&O and its partners by descending on the office of the company that helped hire a “scab workforce” to replace Scots workers.
The RMT and Nautilus unions accuse P&O of “capitalist banditry” and claim that letting them get away with the sacking of 800 seafarers would open the floodgates to other greedy firms.
Protestors followed up demos last week at UK ports, including Cairnryan, by mobbing the office of Clyde Marine Recruitment in Govan, Glasgow. They are demanding workers be reinstated.
