Calais ferry workers continue actions to protest against a layoff that would cost 600 colleagues their jobs. As reported in last month’s newsletter, employer MyFerryLink is selling off two ferried to a rival firm, which would result in massive job losses. After large-scale actions in June affecting both the port and tunnel, ferry workers are now blocking the entrance roads to the port by burning tyres across the road.
