We love to see these corrupt, careerist fucks getting publicly dragged by the working class. They must be exposed and humiliated whenever possible!

Not a good day to be working for the daily echo where the difference between bearing and baring has been forgottenYeah, I get the impression it must be a very rough week to be working in publicity for P&O Cruises:
Southampton's P&O Cruises forced to repeatedly say 'we are not P&O Ferries'
SOUTHAMPTON-BASED P&O Cruises has been baring the brunt of a decision to sack 800 staff by a similarly-named firm it is not linked to.www.dailyecho.co.uk
Also a rough week to be working in PR for P&O Ferries, but fuck 'em.
Maybe they're hoping to make it to the BBC?Not a good day to be working for the daily echo where the difference between bearing and baring has been forgotten

Is that not also the precise area that Alan Murray/Officer E from the SPG went into? Something about that field seems to attract really ethical people.Well, Nick Leeson is now a consultant advising firms in corporate responsibility.

wonder if they are going to have to change their name to recover from this?
I think so. Calmac and Northlink are already state-owned. The train contract has recently been removed from Abellio (a private company) and is being taken over by a Scottish Government owned 'operator of last resort' so there is precedent.Under devolution, does the Scottish Gvt have the power to nationalise?
I know transport is devolved in Wales, but they only ever ape whatever England does (but bi-lingually)
I don't think anyone genuinely knows to be truthful. As far as I understand the Devolution Act sets out some things that Holyrood can definitely do and some things they definitely can't. Everything else is a grey area where Holyrood would probably have to try it and either Westminster says yes or it says no and it gets thrashed out in court.Under devolution, does the Scottish Gvt have the power to nationalise?

I imagine she'll use an agency to recruit a new hubby. One worse terms of course.Was just about to post that. She also thought that her ex husband, who carried out several sexual assaults, only 'behaved badly' and got an excessive sentence. Wiki:
To the layperson, the unceremonious sacking of 800 P&O Ferries workers may look like a consequence of Britain leaving the EU, with any legal action by the trade unions turning into the first big test of workers’ rights post-Brexit.
Despite Boris Johnson’s assurances that Britain’s departure from the EU would be better for UK workers, there have been fears it would be seen by the government as an opportunity to erode workers’ rights in a bid to increase competitiveness.
However, the reality is that, so far at least, there has been no derogation from EU employment rights and the scope for any backsliding is limited. Contained within the trade and cooperation agreement with the EU, there is a non-regression clause, under which Britain agreed not to reduce employment rights below the standards existing on 31 December 2020 in a manner that would affect trade or investment. The EU could take retaliatory measures such as tariffs if trade or investment were affected and could also legally challenge the regression before a panel of experts.
John Bowers QC, a leading employment barrister and principal of Brasenose college, Oxford, said: “Although the government’s huffed and puffed about changing the law, so far they haven’t. The straightforward statutory redundancy law is purely UK, it’s the redundancy consultation [law] that is EU-related and we haven’t changed that.
Andrea London, a partner in law firm Winckworth Sherwood’s employment team, said Brexit was a “red herring”. She said the EU collective redundancies directive was implemented in the UK by a primary act of parliament which “gold-plated” (went beyond) the EU legislation, adding: “Given its longevity and trade union backing, it is firmly entrenched in the UK employment law environment, and there inevitably would be considerable opposition to any repeal or paring back of the protections in this act due to leaving the EU.”
When there were reports – denied by the government – that proposals were being considered to lower employment rights, those plans did not mention redundancy rights but rather an end to the 48-hour maximum working week, changes to rules about breaks at work, and removing overtime pay when calculating certain holiday pay entitlements.
I think so. Calmac and Northlink are already state-owned. The train contract has recently been removed from Abellio (a private company) and is being taken over by a Scottish Government owned 'operator of last resort' so there is precedent.
even pre brexit, the bosses had pretty much the easiest. most capital friendly system to abuse within the EU bloc. whatever petty financial penalties that might be levied on the dubai ports lots will likely be factored into their plan
I would have been one of those & admit I got this one wrong. I spent half of last week in hospital on a drip & hopefully can be forgiven for having more pressing issues to worry about than this thread.Anyone recently seen the employment law experts on here who put this all down to Brexit ?
Hope you’re feeling better now mateI would have been one of those & admit I got this one wrong. I spent half of last week in hospital on a drip & hopefully can be forgiven for having more pressing issues to worry about than this thread.
