It's concerning to me that the company may fall 100% into the hands if the UAE as a major part of our trade infrastructure.

Attacks on workers rights were always imminent.
If you work for an employer, joining a union has never been more important.

they are not being held up by stubborn union staff, because the company said it wasnt going to run any ferries for the next few days

The reason for the queues is entirely due to P&O

Many big companies are outsourcing their workers from abroad to save money. My former Company got away with Fire and re-hire during Covid....
This is a despicable way to treat loyal staff....shame on P&O.

This is only the start, not the end, so whatever is given away by workers today, will be the starting point for the next crisis, and as always, it is the folks at the bottom/middle that will pay the highest price. Unions help to protect against that, which is why there are constant attacks against unions.

In this Massive Debt of P&O,
Unions can not help them



Some Workers that have walked off the boat
will return for a new job
with less pay
and fewer holidays.

[To help force its staff to disembark,
P&O 'illegally' hired 16 balaclava-clad and
handcuff-trained officers from a private security firm,
with the company telling them the job would
last a week and be paid at Ł14.50 an hour.]


It may take 2 days.

Unions are the only groups not only able to help these workers, but willing and determined to do so.

You're worried about protecting the wrong people.

Arista you seem to be less concerned about 800 people basically having to accept less money at a time that the cost of living is rising exponentially and disagreeing with Unions who are trying to help them than you are that a mulitple million pound business could be possibly pushing more people in this country into poverty.

No I agree it is tragic
P&O has big debts
DP World in Dubai
have loaned them, the final amount to keep P&O trading.
