Shipping loophole leaves workers on miserly £2.35 an hour
Condor Ferries exploits loophole to scam its seafarers
Protesters surrounded Condor Ferries' Portsmouth offices yesterday over a shipping loophole the company exploits to pay crew members just £2.35 per hour.
Documents seen by the Star reveal that Condor pays Ukrainian crew members on its ships, which carry freight between Portsmouth, Gurney and Jersey, just £28.19 per 12-hour shift.
And the company is also facing an uprising across the channel from workers on its French fast ferry services.
