Is it?...Arista thinks there are staff cabins.I don't think on that wage you would be able to run a car in the UK so I can't see them bringing one.

BBC Text :
[The government has given P&O Ferries
until 17:00 GMT on Tuesday
to explain its decision to sack 800 members of staff.
The paper claims ministers knew
on Wednesday what P&O bosses were
intending to do, but failed to act.
Labour is attempting to force a
vote banning "fire and rehire",
the paper reports.]

I really hope this is fought tooth and nail, otherwise it will snowball across all sectors.

Thinking about it i've been noticing more and more posters around my workplace as they employ agency workers, and information on various websites on how to recognise modern day slavery.. maybe this has been creeping in for a while and nobody has noticed yet?

bots 21-03-2022 11:23 AM

there is something fundamentally wrong when a company can fire its workforce and rehire at slave rates. The major issue in this case must be safety of passengers because there is no way the new crews can have been properly trained. We don't even know if they can speak english. I think they should lose their license to carry passengers at a minimum.

They must make fire and rehire illegal because it is never going to work out well

Kizzy 21-03-2022 11:27 AM

It begins. .. the fear mongering about food shortages if we don't allow P+O to carry on, as if we import cheese sarnies in containers :/

To be fair that's nothing new, it's been happening for years with all of the "contact centre outsourcing" to India etc, also it's extremely obvious from the names of agents that a lot of "web chat" style customer service for online companies is outsourced to Eastern Europe. It's just less visible in those cases.

Because she sells papers, for all the right reasons. :clap1:
…..and because she is gorgeous, natural, genuine, fun loving and very popular indeed with the majority of the public. :flutter:

Labour are Live in Parliament


She asked
for Conservatives to back her motion tonight.


Grant Shapps Transport Secretary

A little education for you....:hee:

Kate has given countless speeches and opinions on many issues, like mental health, childcare, addiction, the empowerment of women, early year intervention, disability, foster care, bereavement, depression, bullying etc etc.

Not the stuff you want to hear, apparently.

She is the future Queen; like Queen Elizabeth she doesn’t do controversial, desperate attention seeking opinions like some PR craving celeb as befits her status, and like Queen Elizabeth, she is highly respected and loved for maintaining that necessary apolitical stance.

I do get why she wouldn’t be your cup of tea however.
