it's a bit weird to dump all their passengers when they are announcing a strategy for the long term viability of the company

P&O Ferries has paused its services "in preparation for a company announcement" later on Thursday.
The ferry operator said it was not going into liquidation but all ferries had been instructed to stay in port. Union RMT urged the firm to protect jobs amid speculation that hundreds of crewmembers could "be sacked and replaced with foreign labour". As a result some sailings scheduled for today have been cancelled, with passengers told to use other companies. P&O services scheduled today include 14 between Dover and Calais, three between Liverpool and Dublin and seven between Larne in County Antrim and Cairnryan in Dumfries and Galloway. The union said it has instructed members to stay on board their vessels once they have docked or risk being "locked out" of their jobs. "We are digging in for the long-haul. We are determined to fight," RMT spokesperson Geoff Martin said. A seafaring P&O employee told the BBC his colleagues onboard have refused to disembark and are instead "in their cabins refusing to work". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60779001 |

[The union said it has instructed members to stay
on board their vessels once they have docked or risk being "locked out" of their jobs.] Yes the Union trying hard to stop the Fast Sackings. But the Dubai based company does not want to go under so get sacked |

I haven't read up on this as yet, on nights last night. Is it a bankruptcy issue? If these people are contracted staff surely they can't be sacked?
Very fishy :/
