This is the Guardian.

Today, the growing disgust at the decision of P&O Ferries to sack 800 workers without warning.

It had seemed like any other Thursday morning for the UK workers of P&O Ferries, but on the 17th of March, words started getting around that a company announcement was coming.

We knew it was going to be a big announcement whether it be a merge or the company's been bought out. We knew something was happening that was going to be big.

We're calling this P&O worker Adele.

I got the email and it was just a link to a team's call and it was by a man that I've never seen before.

I was in the RMT office in Dover.

This is Lee.

We knew that something was going on. The ships had been laid up.

So I got down to the ships and just said to everyone, look, get the doors locked. Don't let anyone on the ships until we know what's happening.

I then came down to the office and then we got an email saying there'd be a team's meeting at 10 past 11.

The video link flickered into life and on screen. 800 employees of P&O Ferries watched as a senior company executive read a prepared statement.

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

Your final day of employment is today.

I was listening to it but not really taking it all in.

And then as soon as the three minute video ended I had to leave the room.

I just took a breath, cried a little bit but it was still in the shock of it. Oh, it wasn't real.

Another of it was real.

And it did take literally a week for it to actually sit in that I have lost my job now.

Because of my position within the uni and I just sort of old it together because I've got people in bits around me.

I'm still a bit numb now. I don't think it's quite sort of sunk in 100%.

My phone was going mad. I've grown memory of me up. What am I going to do? I've just brought an else. I've got mortgage. I've got kids.
