Nationalise P&O ferries, demands RMT
MARITIME union RMT called yesterday for the nationalisation of international ferry operator P&O after its Dubai government owners announced plans to hand £270 million to shareholders.
The union said the lining of shareholders’ pockets comes as the company is asking for taxpayer-funded subsidies.
It said nationalisation was essential to protect 1,400 UK seafarers’ jobs and strategic supply routes.
