If you have been employed on a contract there has to be a 30 day consultation period. They may place these staff on garden leave but if the company has not gone into administration they have to pay the staff for 30 days and offer a package in line with at least statutory redundancy pay

they still have a legal obligation

DP World have a turnover of 8.5 billion a year

You are aware
they covered 2 years of, £100million loses


It maybe far better for them, to Flog the lot

Cheaper staff taking over
is the only way to keep them trading



It is not viable as a Company - right now

100% China's Covid -19 has caused all this

What is he aware off :fist::fist::fist:

How much cheaper can they be?.. we do have laws around exploitation here..

That money goes into other companies they run.

For over 2 years they have picked up the £100million debts
of P&O


P&O were hit by Covid -19

Much Cheaper
as they travel abroad alot.




Kizzy do not get P&O Closed Down

He is as bent as they come... there's no way he will intervene here.

He has to go Live,
he can not hide


DPworld has loaned P&O money to still trade

They have responsibility to their staff as well as customers...how will changing 800 staff members for ones paid a little less keep a company as big and integral to post Brexit trade afloat? (Pun intended )

It's concerning to me that the company may fall 100% into the hands if the UAE as a major part of our trade infrastructure.

Since 2019
they are already under DP world Logistics


But Covid-19 from China arrived
and destroyed their customers

Fire and Re Hire

May return
SkyNews Political reporter Joe Pike.

5PM Statement in Parliament



So go back to Work
less holiday
less pay

But still a job.


Life In The City

Attacks on workers rights were always imminent.
If you work for an employer, joining a union has never been more important.

But if the company is going bankrupt
accept Fire and Re Hire
to keep your job

they are not being held up by stubborn union staff, because the company said it wasnt going to run any ferries for the next few days

The reason for the queues is entirely due to P&O

[The reason for the queues is entirely due to P&O]


Yes they need to fire 800 staff
to keep trading.

Many big companies are outsourcing their workers from abroad to save money. My former Company got away with Fire and re-hire during Covid....
This is a despicable way to treat loyal staff....shame on P&O.

Yes Poxy China
and their Covid-19

This is only the start, not the end, so whatever is given away by workers today, will be the starting point for the next crisis, and as always, it is the folks at the bottom/middle that will pay the highest price. Unions help to protect against that, which is why there are constant attacks against unions.

In this Massive Debt of P&O,
Unions can not help them



Some Workers that have walked off the boat
will return for a new job
with less pay
and fewer holidays.

[To help force its staff to disembark,
P&O 'illegally' hired 16 balaclava-clad and
handcuff-trained officers from a private security firm,
with the company telling them the job would
last a week and be paid at £14.50 an hour.]


It may take 2 days.

Unions are the only groups not only able to help these workers, but willing and determined to do so.

You're worried about protecting the wrong people.

It is out of the Union's hand.


By sacking the 800
that can get back on trading

Unbelievable...

Arista you seem to be less concerned about 800 people basically having to accept less money at a time that the cost of living is rising exponentially and disagreeing with Unions who are trying to help them than you are that a mulitple million pound business could be possibly pushing more people in this country into poverty.

No I agree it is tragic
P&O has big debts
DP World in Dubai
have loaned them, the final amount to keep P&O trading.

It is the only way they can keep it going




a £100million loss is a mega hit, each year
China's Covid-19 has destroyed their jobs

A few days for fast training, for new cheaper staff.

Imagine having the listen to that video message telling you that you are being made redundant with immediate effect

It is the Future.

I was once called to a meeting in Birmingham when I worked for a media company. The Directors were telling us how they had sold the company and saved everyone's jobs, they were saying how great it was to be back on the payroll and basically making us all pat them on the back.

I was back in the office the next day and got a call to say - oh by the way we are making all the Manchester office redundant. I spent the next 4 weeks dealing with baliffs etc turning up and taking all the office equipment. It was a fun time :laugh: I just let them in - made them brews and let them take what they wanted.

Its so grim

I just heard that some of the new staff have been put up in hotels on half pay until there were enough of them in situ to make today happen
