I don't believe for one second he didn't know. It may be a Brexit thing. A way of getting things in from other countries without necessary checks?

[The company said these staff will be served
with severance packages, calling it a "necessary decision".

It said the business is "not viable" in its current state
.]

OK Kizzy
there is no other way

Surely you can't make people redundant immediately, what about the consultation process

10:30AM On a Screen DP World

Within a minute they got a message

Bus loads of cheaper workers are waiting.

If you have been employed on a contract there has to be a 30 day consultation period. They may place these staff on garden leave but if the company has not gone into administration they have to pay the staff for 30 days and offer a package in line with at least statutory redundancy pay

It maybe far better for them, to Flog the lot

Cheaper staff taking over
is the only way to keep them trading



It is not viable as a Company - right now

100% China's Covid -19 has caused all this
