Party urges government to claw back taxpayers’ money claimed by parent company DP World
- ‘There were grown men in tears’: P&O crews stunned by sackings
- ‘Scandalous betrayal’: MPs condemn P&O Ferries
Labour has written to the government demanding immediate action over the sacking of 800 British crew by P&O Ferries, including suspending the licences of its parent company, DP World, as a union leader called it a “new low” for the shipping industry.
The shadow transport secretary, Louise Haigh, said: “This was a despicable assault on workers’ rights. But British seafarers do not need meaningless platitudes – they need action.”
