I don't see an end to this dispute, DFDS tried to help by employing a third of the Sea France/MFL staff despite their record.
There is no way they would consider employing any after the fiasco of the last 3 days and we are stuck with a dinosaur in charge of the union concerned. Thugs whether they be intended migrants or pickets control the biggest European trade route so I can only see a summer of misery for truckers and holiday makers.
DFDS have no choice other than evicting the squatters by force and making it even more difficult to get rational discussions.

DFDS ships remain barred from Calais and two berths permitted for P&O use. I can't help feeling the MFL strikers, much as I sympathise with their plight, are shooting themselves in the foot with this action.

Who clears the mess left behind after days of there being no access to toilet facilities for all those caught up?

Dover express with the wrong info again, DFDS announced they will not be running to calais until Thursday overriding the earlier announcement that said wednesday. As you say karlos they haven't been to calais since start of strike.

A lengthy article which details the benefits of claiming asylum in the UK and France, not as cut and dried as most of us think.
