Whilst most are enjoying their lets remember that the UK Is still allowing to be paid less than £5 p/h around our coast.

P&O Ferries are still getting away with this, although Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP and Boris Johnson said theyll deal with it!

If this government was serious about dealing with &O they would of taken the £11M off P&O and invested it in training as they know that the UK has a skills shortage of UK due to years of under investment and a lack of political will!

A &O reported being onboard like being in jail according to ITV.

This is the closest they will get to going ashore for 17 wks, whilst being paid less than £5p/h for 12 hrs work

The French ministers have called it out…

The uk continues to look at it..

Thank you to everyone who supported our No More P&Os rally yesterday at Parliament.
The scandalous and unlawful sacking of 786 seafarers by P&O Ferries means that the company is now forcing staff to work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, for up to 17 weeks for £4.87 an hour!

It’s 2 years since the “zoom sackings “ of 786 workers P&O Ferries

P&O gleefully admitted breaking the law claiming it was worth it.

The CEO remains in place.

The Gvt has done nothing to protect workers.Their answer more Anti trade union legislation.

BETRAYAL !!

Two years on from P&O Ferries illegal sacking of 786 seafarers, we must unite to stop an international race to the bottom.

That's why international solidarity is so important.

I’ll just leave this here as reminder of what Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP said!

2 years on..0/3 fulfilled

That £11M could be used to invest in seafarers training, esp ratings as there has been a lack of investment in skills development of ratings because this government endorses exploitation!

They sacked our members then they shamefully gagged our members using discredited NDAs. P&O admit to breaking the law yet nothing is done despite Tory weasel words! RMT RMT Scotland

Today, in , Rishi Sunak said that Labour would be 'soft on crime, soft on criminals', yet two years on from P&O Ferries admitting that they acted unlawfully in sacking 786 seafarers absolutely nothing has been done.
When will Conservatives act?
No More P&Os!

This a point RMT made at the time and continue to make, but &O don’t care about of crew, passengers or other vessels and most definitely have no morals!

It’s time for the Uk Govt to grow a backbone and deliver for UK instead of endorsing exploitation.

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…
