People in Liverpool are being urged to boycott a 'scab' P&O ferry due to set sail from the city.
P&O Ferries sparked national outrage this week when they suddenly dismissed 800 sailing staff without any consultation and with agency staff lined up to take their positions. The firm's boats were pulled from service on Thursday as the shock announcement was made. Yesterday saw huge protests take place in Liverpool, Hull and Dover.
One of the company's suspended routes is between Liverpool and Dublin and a ferry has been docked at the Port of Liverpool since the dramatic announcement this week. But the Nautilus union has now shared a letter from P&O Ferries CEO Peter Hebblethwaite, suggesting the route will imminently resume.
