Sacked P&O Hull ferry crew refuse to leave ship, say union
The crew of a ferry docked in Hull have finally left the ship after earlier occupying the vessel in protest over being sacked by P&O.
Gary Jackson, from the RMT, described P&O's actions as "unacceptable" and "unforgivable" and said crew members were "absolutely devastated". "At 11am, ratings and officers were informed there was going to be a pre-recorded Zoom meeting. After that two to three-minute call all the crew were made redundant."
He added: "We don't know where to turn now. It seems like the whole seafaring industry is being taken away from British crews."Speaking in the House of Commons, Transport Minister Robert Courts said P&O's actions were "wholly unacceptable"."I am extremely concerned and frankly angry at the way workers have been treated by P&O," he added."In its current state, P&O Ferries is not a viable business.
