‘This is everybody’s fight’: RMT protests against P&O Ferries in Hull - in pictures

Following the mass sacking of 800 staff last month, P&O Ferries is now the target of protests and a boycott coordinated by the RMT trade union

After P&O Ferries sacked 800 of their staff via a Microsoft Teams calls last month, failing to consult with workers or trade unions in the process, the company now faces protests at its sites across the UK.

Despite concerns that the ferry operator has essentially “got away with,” the mass sackings, which were in breach of employment law, the RMT trade union is pushing forward with a campaign against P&O Ferries and calling for better workers rights across the maritime sector.

The government has announced a package of measures aimed at tightening up regulations for seafarers going forward, and a change to minimum wage law for maritime workers which they say will remove the incentive for P&O to replace their former staff with agency workers.

Protests

Protests against P&O Ferries are ongoing at a number of sites across the UK, including Hull and Liverpool, after the firm broke employment law and made 800 staff redundant on the spot without consultation last month.
