Joint statement says important strides have been made since mass firing of workers by P&O Ferries three years ago

The UK government’s employment rights bill has made “important strides” to stop another P&O Ferries scandal happening – but more must be done, according to trade unions.

The TUC, Nautilus and RMT unions said more measures to prevent “unscrupulous” employers such as P&O Ferries from treating staff like “disposable labour” were needed as they marked the three-year anniversary of the firing by P&O of UK workers.
