Brutal Moment Security Tell P&O Crew They Have To Get Off Ferry

The now-viral video shows crew members being dismissed after the company announces a raft of lay-offs earlier this week

P&O are under fire once again following the company chief's brutal dismissal of workers earlier this week - which went viral on social media.

A new video has since emerged, which shows the moment that two P&O staff members were told they had two hours to pack their things up and leave the ferry. Take a look below:

First appearing on Twitter, the freshly unearthed footage shows security workers in high-vis attire speaking to two recently sacked employees.

However, far from offering their sympathies, the security staff show very little compassion to their former colleagues.

One of the men is heard saying: “I think two hours would be a reasonable time for you to pack your stuff up and be ready to leave.”

The clearly shocked workers respond with: “We need to talk to the union.”

One member of the security detail then bluntly says: “That’s fine but you’ve got two hours. We’re allowing you a reasonable time. I’m giving you a reasonable amount of time. You’ve got two hours.”

As per reports from The Sun, P&O is now in the process of replacing the recently axed staff with cheaper workers, with hoards of new agency employees already boarding ferries.

The dramatic change was a direct response to the cruise company reporting losses of over £100 million. As a result, P&O also took the radical step of suspending all services early on Thursday.

Chaos soon ensued at ports like Dover, with passengers, workers and lorry drivers alike left with nowhere to go.

As the video above highlights, staff members were soon told to make their way off ferries, with several incandescent ex-employees protesting their sacking at the port's entry.

Huw Merriman, who chairs the Transport Select Committee, said of the debacle: “P&O, this once-great flag carrier of the seas, have made an appalling error.”

The company's firing of over 800 members of staff has sent shockwaves throughout the whole industry, with freight also being massively impacted.

Earlier this week, shocking footage emerged of a Zoom call that showed the 800 staff members all being sacked at the same time.

The P&O boss was heard saying to the staff: "The company has made the decision that its vessels going forward will be primarily crewed by a third party crew provider.

"Therefore I am sorry to inform you that this means your employment is terminated with immediate effect on the grounds of redundancy.

"Your final day of employment is today."
