The ferry firm had asked recently-employed agency workers to sign new contracts with reduced wages.
Ferry company P&O has been forced to reverse an attempt to pay its new, cheaper seafarers less money.
However, the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers said the firm was now "trying to bring in an exploitative model, with the lowest possible standards they can get away with". The seafarer who contacted the RMT told the union that they were being forced to work without contracts, after old ones had expired. The worker claimed documents had also been "lost" by P&O.
