Hope the 63% of Leave voting Hull folk, the 62.2% of Leave voters in Dover, those 41.1% of Scouse leavers are chuffed with the way workers rights have been improved.
In the EU jobs become redundant, not people. It is unlawful to fire someone and then replace them with someone else to do exactly the same job, only cheaper.

Rule Britannia!

The company is in a dire state overall but Brexit certainly had a helping hand for sure.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Your missing the point. They have bus loads of agency workers waiting to scab for less money. That's illegal in the EU.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pretty sure it's still illegal here too, hence the legal challenge.

This is a company that has 45% share of the cruise industry and handles 19% of UK freight to boot.

I know the pandemic has hit them hard, but I wonder how much they had saved as reserves beforehand. It's only household budgets that need to be pragmatic and have a rainy day fund in this late era capitalism it seems, everything else can cut to the bone, give all their profits out as dividends then complain when crisis hits, and screw their employees.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Might be wrong but heard the MP for Hill saying marine staff were excluded from the roll over from EU law to British law.
Fire and rehire is not illegal here, it should be, and apparently P+O have told the staff they made redundant to go join one of the agencies.

I'd have left the ship immediately...


After opening every sea ¢o¢k and throwing the handles overboard. Maybe drop a few ball bearings down the scavenging ports of the main engine and generators on my way too.

Do private security have the right to handcuff people in the UK?

Differently rules may apply on a maritime vessel though.

Just looked up they have the same right to arrest as any private citizen making a citizens arrest. Thanks.
But I'd sabotage the ship I was in to fook.

I’m not missing that point, I knew what you were talking about. I’m just saying that they’ve made huge losses in recent years and Brexit has exacerbated that also.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Huge losses the last two years.

Bumper profits beforehand, to which they will probably return over the next year or two.

Employees always carrying the cost of poor business decisions.

Dubai guvmint.

I wonder what nationality the workers are?

Odds-on they're Filipinos who've signed contracts allowing P&O to pull a stunt like this.

I posted here recently about the plant based Covid vaccine developed in Quebec.
The WHO has decided it won't approve it.
Their reason is because Philip Morris us a minor shareholder. WTAF?

Company's name is Medicago. Got an emergency approval in Canada.
I just can't believe the reason for WHOs decision. Maybe they shouldn't allow vaxes developed by big pharma. They've killed a lot of people with their "nonaddictive" opiods.

Yup
Very selective by Who their
Probably didnt get bribed enuff

Yes. They also don't deal with arms producers.
I wonder if those blue helmet dudes are using sticks and stones on peace keeping duties. Fekin idiots.

What P&O did today was utterly reprehensible

Bang on

I have to wonder what the pro brexit people think of this.

I think it has very little to do with Brexit tbh.
