P&O protesters march in Dover as firm detained for being 'unfit to sail'
Protesters gathered in Dover on Saturday (26 March) as the RMT union urged a stop to what it called the “P&O jobs massacre”.
Protests are taking place at UK ports in Liverpool and Hull over sacking of 80 P&O Ferries seafarers.
Protesters are calling for the company’s boss to quit.
This comes after a P&O-operated ship was detained for being “unfit to sail” on Friday.
Transport secretary Grant Shapps said he is not willing to compromise the safety of passengers and P&O vessels as a whole.
Shapps insisted that the company will not be able to rush training of new employees.
