due to replace those who had lost theirjobs. we started feeling sick. we started feeling just nauseous because we knew what we were doing — we were taking those people's jobs. for the moment, p&o ships are going nowhere, as the company attempts to bring in a new workforce. unions say they will fight the plans. it's absolutely shocking to think that this would happen in this day and age, that a company like p&o and a company like dp world would do this to individuals. they're the heart of the community. but p&o says in its current state its not a viable business — with annual losses of £100 million — and its survival depends on making swift and significant changes. it says it will offer enhanced compensation packages. the government has described the way workers have been treated as wholly unacceptable. it's warning of longer queues to get into dover, but it doesn't believe the supply of critical goods and services will be affected. simon jones, bbc news.
