Stewards sought on Facebook to replace crew members sacked without notice
One of the maritime agencies recruiting workers for P&O Ferries is advertising for crew members, saying no previous experience at sea required.
Union officials warn that P&O Ferries could be jeopardising safety after dismissing 800 crew members and replacing them with workers paid less than the minimum wage. One of the firm’s vessels has been detained at Larne in Northern Ireland for being “unfit to sail” because of concerns over training.
