      Workers and unions including Nautilus International and the RMT are continuing to mobilise against the illegal sacking of 800 workers by P&O Ferries.

      Protest action is planned for Wednesday 23 March.

      Members and supporters can join the fight against fire and rehire policies by joining protests at:

      Liverpool

      Time: 07:00

      Place: Port of Liverpool, L21 LA

      Dover

      Time: 12:00 midday

      Place: RMT office, Maritime House, Snargate Street, Dover.

      With a planned march to P&O offices

      Cairnryan, Dumfries and Galloway

      Time: 12:00 midday

      Place: P&O ferry terminal, The Port  DG9 8RF

      Hull

      Time: 13:00-15:00 

      Place: King George Dock

      A further protest is planned for Friday 25 March in Larne and for Saturday 26 March in Liverpool.

      For those unable to make it, please consider showing your support by signing the petition and writing to your MP.

      The Union believes the decision by P&O Ferries to lay off 800 workers is a despicable attack on the company's own loyal seafarers, and represents a threat to every UK maritime professional. This action threatens to trigger a race to the bottom that damages pay and conditions for all.
