I watched parliament talking about it earlier, a few of the MP's were saying that some would be " fired and hired " to keep ships running and that practise needs to stop

Appalling. I hope there is a massive backlash against this

Sniffs of a Murdoch style move from the 80's to break the unions grip , in this case its the RMT's turn, who are also busy on other fronts such as London Tube Strikes.

What's also disgusting is the government's failure to outlaw this practice back in November which makes what P&O did perfectly legal.

Horrible way to treat your staff.

Their wiki page has been updated showing their number of employees as nil.

Are you saying they did not outlaw fire and rehire which is what I think was being talked about in the Autumn?

If so it may not have helped now because they are not firing and rehiring.

They are firing and replacing.

Not that I am saying that P and O's actions are not disgraceful

I am. The employment solicitor mentions it in the BBC link.

Looks like P&O has just Gerald Ratnered the brand.

On a personal note They've managed to make me do something I never thought I would, and that's join the RMT.

Absolutely disgraceful move from p+o. Well done to the captains and crew involved for digging in and defending themselves. Shame on the decision makers who made these choices. I know it would never be done, as it's tantamount to declaring war. But I'd bloody love to see the government respond by nationalising London Gateway and telling dp to piss off off and not do business in the UK again
