Hi, bad news for the sacked workers, by all accounts cheaper foreign workers will be hired. This would not be allowed to happen in Germany and France due to EU rules.

Outrageous and disgraceful decision by P&O to sack 800 workers without notice and replace them with cheaper agency workers today. Is this practice now going to become commonplace? |

I can fully understand the bitterness people have I'd be the same. I'm surprised it is legal.
P&O say " these staff will be served with "enhanced" severance packages, calling it a "necessary decision" to protect its remaining 2,200 staff" For some the severance package may be great for them... retirement and pension for others probably stress. Is there justification to sack 800 to save 2,200? The pay on P&O cruise ships for the foreign workers is (was) when I asked a worker mind blowingly poor. I raised it on a P&O? forum and got shot down in flames by other members saying it is none of my business macafee2 |

Our employment laws should have been such that this situation cannot happen. BoJo recently had a speech where he talked about his vision of a high wage economy!

It's just awful news. I was on a day trip Saturday with the Rover, first in 2 years. In spite of huge delays caused by the ships having to be refueled by trucks, thanks to our hysterical govt, it was so nice to be crossing the channel again. I dared to think things might be getting back to somewhat normal, so booked another trip yesterday., only to see today's Daily gloom and Doom.
When I read this venerable company with a proud history is now owned by Russian and Dubai companies and no trace of British owners, what is happening is horrible but hardly surprising. Just terribly sad.

P&O Ferries are a different company (ie different owners) from P&O Ferries so I believe.
