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 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

Yes, but they can go Bankrupt
if they do not change staff.


Massive debts on P&O Ferries

They had no choice
get cheaper staff or close down

They could not give warnings
due to the Unions.

A Transport Minister (Robert Courts MP)
stated in Parliament, he is Angry with P&O.



But not doing much.

A Labour MP
just said, it is like the Victorian Times
when workers are forced off a boat.

That special debate in Parliament
has now ended

Covid has wrecked the World.

All the officers have been redeployed, its the Ratings that have been made redundant

There will be winners of course, those close to retirement may welcome this

On lower money….the longer serving staff were forced to sign new contracts and some were simply made redundant.

Ian Dale
on LBC Live

Said the Government should Nationalize P&O Ferries

[MTVN]

Redundancy is a fact of life and sometimes has to be done but there's ways to do things

I thought unions legally had to be involved in proceedings as well, this totally flies in the face of everything I thought I knew about the process lol
