Firm must lift this week’s deadline for workers to reply to redundancy offers, says transport secretary
P&O Ferries has “one last opportunity” to U-turn on the sacking of 800 crew and must lift this week’s deadline for the employees to sign redundancy and non-disclosure agreements, the government has warned.
The transport secretary, Grant Shapps, wrote to the firm’s chief executive, Peter Hebblethwaite, on Monday spelling out his intention to legislate, informing him that P&O Ferries would be “left with little choice but to reverse your decision in any case”.
