Dubai-owned ferry operator predicts inquiry into its sacking of 786 workers last year will not result in ‘related economic outflow’
P&O Ferries bosses believe there is “a less than remote possibility” of any fine from the investigation into its mass sackings of 786 workers last year, despite admitting it broke the law.
In its annual report, the Dubai-owned ferry operator said that firing its entire UK-based crew without due consultation “as required under UK employment law” was a “solution to gaining essential operational flexibility”.
