Apparently with immediate effect, men in balaclavas manhandling them off the ships as they were staging a sit in.
To be replaced with agency staff.
Apparently been making a £100 million loss for several years, yet only now they take action to reduce costs and in such a callous manner ?

'To be replaced with agency staff to be paid the absolute bare minimum that those people could hope to live on in whatever third world country they bring them from' is more like it. |
Isn’t what we’re seeing the very thing that underpinned the Brexit vote? A long-established British firm bought out by international finance and British workers displaced by cheap, sweated foreign labour; quite literally in this instance, bussed in to replace them.
Take a step back and look at the last thirty or so years: we’ve had innumerable protests that achieved precisely nothing other than, as previously stated, as a means of salving the marchers’ conscience. Then came the Brexit vote, the supposed game changer, which has obviously been a spectacular failure as we are now witnessing in real time. The ballot box and these claims made about “our democracy” have been shown up for the hollow sham it is.
Where next? By what route...

If working people thought that posh boys like Johnson somehow had their interests at heart then they will be in for a shock.
They were lied to and mislead, disgraceful that Labour under posh boy Jezza were all but complicit.
Brexit is the enemy of the British working class. | |

When we Brexited the EU Johnson wrote to all the courts in the UK explaining that there was no longer any legal right of appeal to the courts for being sacked or made redundant. The union may hold contractual obligations on behalf of members but legally they are now worth Didley-Squat! Yet the RMT told members to vote to leave. Redundancy arrangements are now as they were under UK law in 1965. This means, redundancy compensation arrangements only apply to staff over 26 years of age, on full time contracts and who have held those contracts for a minimum of 2 years.
P&O was bought out for 322m in 2019 by Dubai Logistics that then took millions in pandemic money from the UK govt. 40 per cent of DL is Russian owned. This is a revenge move. The UK govt can stop this by withdrawing the license from P&O that allows them to enter British ports. But will they? |  |

Will they? What do you think? Unless, that is, something happens to put the fear of God into them.
The protests need to be ratcheted up to boiling point as quickly as possible. What’s the use of sitting around shaking your head muttering how awful it is? If change isn’t forced it doesn’t come about. | |

Alas it is too late.
The country committed the largest act of self harm in any country's history 5 years ago. This is the result of it. Unions powerless, workers rights eroded. They will be coming after our annual leave and maternity leave next. | |

No chance will they put pressure on P&0. They could put pressure on the parent company by making life difficult via the ferry company’s or via the company operating Tilbury as a Freeportbut they won’t. Not seeing any of the press outlets commenting on the fact it’s only British workers being sacked and not the French staff. |  | | |

Interesting post that fair play. Scandalous if even half of it is accurate. It really is time we grew up as a nation and stopped taking all the c*@p we do from politicians. |  | | |

That was always the worry.
The Tory party wants a Singapore type economy in the UK.
Join a union people, and vote Labour to get Johnson out. | |

In your world, Is there any bad things that happen in the world that isn't because of Brexit or Boris? |
Of course things that happen are a result of other things that happen……
This has Brexit written all over it. You can’t choose to give Brexit credit when something good happens but stick your fingers in your ears if something bad happens. 😂😂
Brexit was about getting out of rules, refs, out from under EU re tape, etc, blah, blah……. You were warned that workers’ rights would be on the hit list but no one listened…….
You know what the glaring irony is here? Who are they going to replace the sacked workers with? Foreign workers, that’s who! 🤣🤣
Bodger, Rishi, Rees-Smugg, your boys done good.

In 2019 they registered their ships in another EU country to continue tax free entitlement.
That was all about Brexit.
All the profits go to Dubai, where they are owned, yet they dump their loyal workers at the drop of a hat.
Despicable action.
As they operate in British docks, then Boris and British government should certainly step in to stop this happening. |
I agree but the gormless scruffy T won't, P&O had 15million in Furlough money as well, I've just been made redundant myself after the company had millions in furlough monies as well, disgusting scum.
Luckily for me I've found other work. |  | | |

He’s going to be remembered that’s for sure. |
Aye, remembered for the fecking idiot he is, don't let him get away with his lies upon lies and decisions he's made and allowing his cabinet minsters to give out billions worth of contracts to their butties. | | | |

I believe it's illegal to do this in the UK. to make over a certain amount redundant there has to be consultation and a procedure. The make workers redundant and then employ others to fill those jobs is also illegal. Security manhandling employees is also illegal. Whether it will be enforced here is another matter | | | |

According to the beeb the agency staff are being paid £1.81 an hour. This is possible because the agency is registered in Cyprus which is in the EU. | | | |

We need someone who actually knows what current employment law is because I'm not sure Ebo's post is correct.
To start with it is still illegal in the UK to make someone redundant if their job will still exist, in other words you cannot legally make someone redundant and then employ another in the same role.
UK employment law has not changed much since we brexited either,
O6FT73W99 https://peopleskillshub.cipd.c
Then there's the claims by the agency involved that the "new" staff were on the same money as those made redundant.
There's more to this story for sure. | |
