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.

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It’s against UK law yes hence why they have been replaced by workers where it isn’t the law

Who is training these workers, if you clear all exiting staff out, in normal circumstances new staff would be trained by experienced staff..that ship has sailed...pardon the pun

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

Fricken hell... I'm usually against over-regulation by governments, but sometimes the fatcats need reigning in...

Crazy that P&O had initially intended on replacing the staff with Russian/Ukrainian workers ... but have now swapped to Indonesian and Indian ones ..

We are talking about people’s lives though .. millions

P&O Ferries is one of the UK's leading ferry companies, carrying more than 10 million passengers a year and about 15% goods in and out of the UK.

That said .. it’s millions per year .. not per trip so maybe my first figure is more relevant

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.]
