Happy to take a Lower Wage
as it is a job

Zizu 19-03-2022 11:22 AM

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

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!

Zizu 19-03-2022 07:21 PM

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

Seems simple enough

[P&O Ferries resumes limited service after
800 staff sacked - amid calls for firm to lose its licences

P&O Ferries sparked a furious backlash after 800
crew members were told this week they were
being let go with immediate effect and being
replaced with agency workers.]


[A Hull man recruited via an agency advert on
Facebook has shared pictures with Sky News
of security staff hired to escort him onto
the European Highlander at Cairnryan in Scotland
Mark Canet-Baldwin said he and more than a dozen
others were not told what ship they would be
working on and met the security workers
in a supermarket car park.]

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

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

P&O
could end up as Freight Lorrys only

Alf 20-03-2022 08:16 AM

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?

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

Alf 20-03-2022 08:28 AM

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It’s against UK law yes hence why they have been replaced by workers where it isn’t the law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

bots 20-03-2022 09:29 AM

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