Political naivety at its best.

Why exactly?

You dont think we should let them treat their staff like shit again ? Coming on the heels of labour announcing more workers rights here

I think the issue is the transport secretary Louise Haigh (and Angela Rayner) said P&O was a rouge operator Haigh boycotted P&O and encouraged customers to do the same.

They represents the British people and the greater good of the nation. It’s enough to bring in legalisation to prevent the practice but it’s not ok to slag off a particular firm. The adults aren’t in charge.

It was appalling practice- it’s absolutely right to bring in legislation to prevent it. Why then run around like a couple of sixth form students slagging the company off and encouraging consumers to boycott them? It’s all well and good for a causal observer like you or I to slag them off, but it’s not ok for a government minister to.

This is going to make other firms sit up and wonder how pro business Labour are. Not only that but this is going to cost jobs and restrict our ability to import (which impacts growth) - if it’s not salvaged.

If businesses had treated their workers properly over the years, there would have been no trade unions (and thus no Labour Party) and regulation of the workplace would never have been considered necessary. No one passes an Act to make the sun rise.

You reap what you sow. Too many bad employers bringing consequences on the rest. See also, landlords.

Absolutely right. Interestingly 12% of private sector workers feel the need to be in a union versus nearly 50% of public sector workers

You might be forgiven for thinking that the biggest **** of an employer is the government.
