Unions have launched a legal bid to stop a boss behind the P&O sackings scandal getting a seat on the board.

But the TUC is urging the Insolvency Service regulator to block the move.
General secretary Frances O’Grady said: “Given his central role in these shameful events, Mr Kristensen is an inappropriate person to be undertaking director’s duties.
“This reward for illegally sacking workers is a grave insult to the dismissed seafarers.”
P&O and DP World declined to comment.
