Brave man to go it alone and not take the redundancy offered.

In the news again with a story of how the government have continued to award multi-million pound contracts to P&O and its parent DP World in spite of promises to review all contracts following the unlawful sackings of 800 staff last year. Can’t say I’m surprised.

Modern slavery in action - they pass meaningless laws and do fuck all
And there it is. The beginning of the end for P&O Ferries exploitative business model.
Courtesy of Joel Hills at ITV: “Signed. Hervé Berville, the French Secrétaire d’Etat chargé de la Mer, holds up the “against social-dumping on the English Channel” decree which he says will 1) compel P&O to pay crew the french minimum wage and 2) limit the hours its crews work to 2 weeks without a break.
Berville explains that ferry operators which persistently breach the law face fines and directors could go to prison. He says Macron’s government is moving to protect seafarers and France’s maritime industry which are being undermined by the behaviour of P&O and Irish Ferries.”
Sincere thanks to Didier Le Gac for proposing this law.
Long fucking overdue! Again it takes the French to take a stand. Sadly too late really for P&O. They got what they wanted. Ripped up all the old long earned contracts, sacked all their loyal well trained crews and have had two years operating with slave labour crew to make huge profits. Wankers.

It's a sad state of affairs when a foreign government has to protect workers in a "British" company!!
