Who said he did?... the Dft knew that's bad enough.

It was an accurate prediction on the direction of post Brexit policy under a conservative government.

Not made as anything other than a suggestion based on my personal observations on what may and may not be affected if a yes vote was the outcome of the referendum.

It was not influenced by or expressed by any Labour MP at the time. Your accusations are groundless.

I mean... the whole topic of this thread suggests that it was not an inflated claim at all... :think:

employment law was never the same throughout europe. I worked for a dutch based company at one time and when they reduced staff, the majority of staff went from the uk because it was almost imposible to dump staff in holland or france. Brexit hasn't helped because rights can deviate even further now, but employers have always been favoured in the uk over employees

Conservatives are looking into
Legal action, slowly.

I am sure P&O were aware of the Fines,
but still went ahead Swapping Proper Paid workers
for £2:60 an hour, crew.

Also
DP world Logistics Dubai (they own P&O Ferries)
has contracts on some of
the new UK Free Ports
The Conservatives are locked in to that.




Sign Of The Times

Its not just the pay..they will no longer be responsible for paying pension contributions, holiday and sick pay or any other contracted rights like maternity/paternity

Disgraceful!

Surely this is against the law?:shocked:

Yes Contract to Free trade Ports
are already on going

DP World Logistics, Dubai
have power of their Government.

What about their replacements. ?

Well if we ( the government) have pumped billions into P&O over the Covid period then they must be made to either reinstate all the workers plus compensate them all as well ! Alternatively seize control of all the company assets

Well so is their £2 wage but if they’re not working on the mainland are the laws applicable

BA did exactly the same with no consequence

That’s simply disgraceful

British Airways is still trading.
That's something in this China Covid time

Yes Slim
she voted against the Labour Bill.

She did that for Photos

They are agency staff...not directly employed by P&0

Happy to take a Lower Wage
as it is a job

Can’t see agency staff being as experienced or reliable tbh

There has to be the potential for terrible accidents or even disaster if you have inexperienced people running a damn ferry !!



What are these people thinking


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Exactly. It doesn't seem safe to me?

I would actively avoid using P&O in the future just on safety issues tbh

I cant imagine working and not having holidays, a pension scheme or a decent wage.
This is modern day slavery!

The authorities should simply not give them clearance to sail until they right their wrong

Seems simple enough

I don't understand how any agency can pay under minimum wage to agency staff? I employ temps and we absolutely have to pay minimum wage, holiday pay and offer a pension scheme...its illegal for us not to.

It is to do with International Waters
not under UK rules.


A Legal Lawyer has stated this.


Annie you can employ temps
but you are not on a Ship in the Big Sea

They are getting trained right now
before they set off

I heard on a phone in yesterday that a Brtish guy employed on P&0 cruises was paid 4 times more than his Filipino counterparts due to them having to comply with different countries laws on international waters

Yes that's in the Papers
reviewed on GBnewsHD

P&O
could end up as Freight Lorrys only

Is it just Dover?

What about the P&O ferries that sail out of Hull? The Hull to Rotterdham and Hull to Zeebrugge. Are those staff on the chopping block?

Its all routes, Hull included

The bastards.

No it is all the Ports
even Scotland to Northern Ireland.


The Hull Captain stayed on his boat
he knew what was going to happen.


Some Boats are now nearly ready to go.
With some new £2:60 an hour fast trained staff

£2.60 ph. Isn't that against the law? That's bordering on full on slavery.

It’s against UK law yes hence why they have been replaced by workers where it isn’t the law

Of Course in the UK it would be illegal


But as Cherie
pointed out, International Waters
are not under UK laws



Alf
they are happy to be in a new job
even though it is £2:60 an hour

the bottom line is would you trust slaves with your family's safety on board a ship? I wouldnt. I remember the zeebrugge disaster
