P&O Ferries furloughed 1400 of its staff during the pandemic, costing the taxpayer £10m.
They also asked us for a £150m bailout.
Its parent company then paid out £250m to shareholders.
Now pandemic's over, they're sacking the British staff we supported.

P&O Ferries announced plans to sack 1,100 staff in May 2020 after owners DP World refuse to inject money to keep jobs.
They begged government to chip in £150m to a £250m plan to keep operations and staff levels.
BUT STILL handed out a dividend of £270M! seatrade-maritime.com/ship-operation…

The Merchant Navy Ratings Pension Fund for P&O Ferries retirees has £146m deficit. DP World won't fund it.
But they paid to rename the 2022 European Golf Tour, 'the DP World Tour,' stumping up £147m prize money!
Pay for Golf holes not pension black holes.

And do you know back in March 2020 when we started paying £10m for furloughed P&O Ferries staff?
Owner DP World had just agreed a deal to sponsor Formula One Renault, so they became Renault DP World.
DP World paid 35m Euros or £30m.

If DP World can afford to pay £177m on sponsoring golf tours and Formula One teams they can damn well pay back £10m of furlough money and continue to give their current P&O Ferries crew a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work.
Unrolled P&O Ferries thread here. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1504442…
Just been to P&O Ferries in Hull with @KarlTurnerMP, @Ed_Miliband, the @RMTunion and more than 200 people to protest against the shameful treatment of workers.
Here’s my piece for @hulllive on why there’s a strong economic case to nationalise them.
