has the CEO taken a pay cut, maybe they should replace him with a cut price model?

then it closes, too bad. It's just not acceptable for a company to say we are only viable if we employ slaves

Yes but they are about to Close Down


By changing to cheaper workers
they keep afloat.


Every Company that size
needs an active CEO.

The Ł45,000 was an average.

Presumably the ones that have been there for years will have got more than those who recently started ?

Redundancy is capped at 20 years I think

Well it's the reverse of a cap really... "plugged" I guess is a better word... companies can pay out as much as they want for redundancy but there are statutory minimums that they have to pay for each year served up to 20 years. They CAN continue to pay more for each year beyond 20 if they want, there's no rule saying they can't. Most obviously do max out at 20 years though (pay as little as possible in other words).

Fair enough but someone who only started last week isn’t going to get too much, surely

there is a statutory minimum of course, but the p&o line is that they basically exceeded all those minimums because they broke the law in doing what they did. I'm all for those axed workers taking p&o for everything they can get

Obviously there will be winners and losers but if I were a year or so out from my pension and I was offered 45K tax free to leave I would snap their hands off no doubt

There will be some staff who will not want to be forced back to work

The CEO was Live on SkyNewsHD


A Scottish committee talking to him via his office on a screen.

[The boss of P&O Ferries has hit back at government's calls
to reinstate the 800 workers it has sacked,
insisting, a U-turn would cause the firm's collapse.

CEO Peter Hebblethwaite said reversing the cuts,
which the firm did not consult unions on,
would lead to the loss of an additional 2,200 jobs.]

Now the P&O Ferry CEO
has written back to the Government
Saying he will not allow the old workers back.
Does the government want to destroy the company?
