Current Affairs P&O Ferries

[woodsyni]

Tended to use Stena anyway but I'll not be even checking P&O now. Scumbags!

Thatchers Britain

 

[peteblue]

That changed a while back, basically by changing terms and conditions they are creating a new 'different' position. It's the essence of fire and rehire, getting rid of benefits long since paid for by workers in the past.
Thatcher and her union bashing eh? Whodathunkit...

I’m long out from doing this stuff, but when I did for this number of people suitable notice periods had to be given and instant redundancies could only happen with full closure of a business. I have no idea of current legislation and you would think that they have it right, but I have a sneaky suspicion that P&O may be on dodgy ground here….

Either way, they are behaving in a disgraceful manner after Covid, and if they get away with it I hope everyone boycotts the business. I would also expect Government to be getting involved here as P&O are putting U.K. trade at risk…..

If it's that dodgy a tory transport minister criticises it in parliament then you can rightly think it's on dodgy ground.
However, I am surprised the RMT were blindsided here.

It seems everyone was. Thats what I cant get my head around.

Surely there should have been info flying around, from other crews, even the security firms and port controllers must have had advance notice.
Strange situation indeed.

 

[Donegal blue]

Disgraceful, the way ordinary people are treated by that scum. Feck you p&o.

Would have thought so, like you. But nada until the announcement at lunchtime it seems.

 

[Walken]

Another mark for those who empowered Johnsons government

Why? They've done f. all for anyone else.

[peteblue]

It will all come out no doubt, but we used to have to notify both Government and the local councils in advance. Strange that very little came out before. It could be that the ‘local’ numbers were below the threshold for notification but we will see. Either way, just boycott the barstewards…..

Qgain, they shouldn’t have been. This has been a crack-handed approach…..

 

[peteblue]

What an absolute shiite…there are ways to break the news about redundancy, and I’ve done it more than I wish to remember, but this cretin should be first out of the door…….
