Agreed, but this fire and rehire law mantra being passed about. Employment law protections still exist despite it, there are Statutory minimums in place that no company can legally go below of.

Just seen this though from ITV News’s Joel Hill:

The unions argue that P&O’s UK crew were easy to fire because their contracts were issued in Jersey as part of P&O’s “offshore employment model”.
I’m told P&O has c50 Dutch + French crew, employed on contracts in the Netherlands and France who weren’t dismissed yesterday.
