Whilst most are enjoying their #weekends lets remember that the UK Is still allowing #seafarers 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!

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!
Solid as always Grahame Morris
You’ve stood by the side of #seafarers for many years.
Thanks.
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.

Thank you to Emma Hardy & Diana Johnson DBE MP 🇬🇧🇺🇦🌈 for showing their support in RMT campaign to ensure we have no more P&O’s attacks on workers rights.

No More P&O’s
RMT officers and NEC supporting our #seafarers yesterday supported by a growing number of Labour Party MP’s
We need to ensure Seafarers are protected with the same employment legislation as land based workers.

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!
Today, in #PMQs , 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!
2 years on and the Conservatives have demonstrated to the entire nation that promises & commitments given by PM and #ministers in #houseofcommons about #P &O means nothing!!
They have lied and failed uk #seafarers and #P ort communities
