P & O Ferries

[Uther]

Wonder what's going on here then. Hope nobody is planning on travelling today...https://news.sky.com/story/p-o-ferries-suspends-all-sailings-ahead-of-major-announcement-12568327

Rumours are they're going to sack all their sailing staff and replace them with agency staff.

Where'd this rumour come from?

Where'd this rumour come from?

''Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) general secretary Mick Lynch said there is "growing speculation that the company are today planning to sack hundreds of UK seafarers and replace them with foreign labour".

He added: "We have instructed our members to remain onboard and are demanding our members across P&O's UK operations are protected, and that the Secretary of State intervenes to save UK seafarers from the dole queue."

Hmmm, so it's not being liquidated but must be pretty major if they're pulling all the ships.

Something like a JD Sports declare bankruptcy and restructure maybe... Who knows, I know nothing about corporate finance

Guess we'll see whether the RMT are right or if the rumour is just made up.

Is that even legal?

All the rich and wealthy people are going to live on them in the middle of the ocean whilst the rest of the world burns in a nuclear holocaust.

I’d prefer nuclear holocaust tbh

Yep looks like all staff redundant and use agency staff.

If this is true, it’s a scummy move of the highest order and everyone should boycott them into financial oblivion

I think they can do better than a p&o ferry.

Funny how everyone is into cancel culture all of a sudden

 

[Feek]

I bought a load of shares when they floated a few years back. I hope they're not going under.

Daily fail but wonder if this has anything to do with it:

It came as DUP MP Jim Shannon claimed in the Commons that nearly half of P&O Ferries is owned by a Russian business. 'I understand that 40% of the holdings of P&O Ferries is held by a Russian company,' he said.

Great inadvertent punnery

Do you have a sinking feeling?

 

[XeNoN89]

They sacked everyone

 

[Bug One]

I'm guessing management have got sick of union demands. Pretty ruthless.

 

[neil3k]

Scummy behaviour.

If that's the case then you really couldn't make it up
