People take part in a demonstration against the dismissal of P&O workers at the Port of Liverpool, March 31, 2022
P&O FERRIES boss Peter Hebblethwaite should “be in the dock,” seafarers’ union RMT said today after the law-breaking CEO admitted in Parliament workers on its ferries were paid under £5 an hour.
The TUC said Mr Hebblethwaite had shown “zero remorse” for illegal sackings and poverty pay after he admitted he couldn’t live himself on seafarers’ wages.
Peter Hebblethwaite repeatedly told MPs on the business and trade committee today that P&O’s workers were not being exploited, while resisting calls for an independent investigation into the company’s employment practices.
