Disgraceful treatment of the British staff

Black P&O !!
That is true, but it seems that even though P&O have broken quite a few employment laws, the Government is not in a position to help for some strange reason??
I don't know myself whether any laws were broken but I suspect there's little the government could have done to have stopped those 800 being made instantly redundant if that's what P&O wanted to do. They'd have found a way, for example, the board could have voted to begin voluntary liquidation in which case all several thousand employees would've been dismissed instantly. Or, they could file for administration and gone down the prepack administration route to get the staff they wanted back. Additionally, we don't know what redundancy packages were offered to them, I just know they have until the end of March to accept them. I suspect the staff will be paid in lieu of notice and the government will tell P&O off but accept that things could've been much worse for many more employees.Rob666 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 18, 2022 3:29 pmThey have broken plenty of laws, you have to give sufficient notice of such a move and just can't dump this awful news on people. Not sure of the guys name on the video and frankly don't care but you should be ashamed of yourself in not even having the guts to do this face to face. Treat people how you expect to be treated clearly you don't know this when in your ivory tower.
In my not so humble opinion the board want to sack staff at a moments notice and recruit lower paid people or outsourcepage_verify wrote: ↑Fri Mar 18, 2022 5:59 pmI don't know myself whether any laws were broken but I suspect there's little the government could have done to have stopped those 800 being made instantly redundant if that's what P&O wanted to do.
