All crew sacked and replaced by cheaper workers, ships delayed in sailing so they could do it:

Its may be even worse in that the contractor could re-employ the original staff but on worse terms
I'm not sure how legal that is |  |

"Boris Johnson was elected in 2019 on a manifesto promise to introduce measures to protect those in low-paid work and the gig economy”, an idea expanded in the Queen’s speech that year with a pledge to bring forward an employment bill that would “protect and enhance workers’ rights as the UK leaves the EU, making Britain the best place in the world to work”.
unsurprisingly
Nearly two years after that speech, no employment bill has been published by the government."
Surely not, it's not as if the PM is an habitual liar, who promises so much, but fails to deliver at every stage |  | | |

Remember when all the zero covid zealots insisted all international travel should be completely ended and all borders shut? |  |

It's well known that deskilling the workforce carries no safety fears for cross-channel ferries.
We should herald free enterprise, surely? | | | |

You don't half embarrass yourself, trying to defend your betters.
If your guff had any worth ALL the other ferry companies would be doing the same thing - they are not.
This is merely another example of what brexit was really about. Remove EU protections for workers and have the UK as a low waged, low skilled economy.
And the gormless fell for this 'levelling up' bollox.
Maybe the block on banning MPs having 2nd jobs might just point the thickos to where their betters priorities lie.
Not them, that's for certain. | | | |

No disagreement here Harold, apart from your rude opening sentence, and your second point. Many companies are trying this Sack the Workers bring them back in on different terms wheeze including British Gas and some airway operators. Had the zero covid zealots had their way many many more people would find themselves in similar situations across travel and other industries. [Post edited 17 Mar 2022 17:06]

You seem more confused than usual today Harold. When did I say it was a necessary step forced on them? You’ve also misunderstood what I mean by “wheeze”. I mean it in the old fashioned pejorative sense. | |

I think you missed this the last time I posted it to get to the bottom of your, what I imagine must be, hard left love in with the EU.

"Ceding Brexit to the right was very nearly the most serious strategic mistake by the British left since the ‘70s. Under successive leaders Labour became so incorporated into the ideology of Europeanism as to preclude any clear-eyed critical analysis of the actually existing EU as a regulatory and trade regime pursuing deep economic integration. The same political journey that carried Labour into its technocratic embrace of the EU also resulted in the abandonment of any form of distinctive economics separate from the orthodoxies of market liberalism.
It’s been astounding to witness so many left-wingers, in meltdown over Brexit, resort to parroting liberal economics. Thus we hear that factor mobility isn’t about labour arbitrage, that public services aren’t under pressure, that we must prioritise foreign direct investment and trade. It’s little wonder Labour became so detached from its base. Such claims do not match the lived experience of ordinary people in regions of the country devastated by deindustrialisation and disinvestment.
Nor should concerns about wage stagnation and bargaining power be met with finger-wagging accusations of racism, as if the manner in which capitalism pits workers against each other hasn’t long been understood. Instead, we should be offering real solutions — including a willingness to rethink capital mobility and trade. This places us in direct conflict with the constitutionalised neoliberalism of the EU." |  |
