Re: P&O Ferries disgracefully make 800 British Workers Redundant

A very similar thing happened to me, we say through a boring 2-hour state of the company meeting (which had us nervous as the top people turned up and this never happens).


On PowerPoint page 168 of 169, it had a simple bullet point, to close our office by end of year, they literally just skipped through it like it didn't matter on to the last page.


Someone said "Woah, go back a page, WTH is that about closing this office".


Needless to say, they had made their minds up and 100 of us lost our jobs.

True, but we must be able to stop them entering UK ports under normal circimstances?
