On the face of it, startling - appalling? - employer actions from P&O

eg

It's possibly legally-complicated because they're seafarers, but can't see how on earth they're being 'made redundant'

If these actions end up being deemed to have been lawful, then there's something badly wrong with the applicable law, IMHO.

  • As Dylan Roberts comments in the tweet  highlights, what they have done may well not be illegal. 

    It will be interesting to see what (if any) backlash there is against P&O and how long its sustained for. They will have few people willing to speak up for their actions but I guess they have calculated that this may well blow over quickly

    Certainly, the timing may be entirely cynical when everyone's attention is diverted by the war in Ukraine.
