A quote off Twitter, the Mirror reports "DP World's also been dodging putting cash into the the MNRPF pension fund (for P&O retirees). We reported in Jan that the company's billionaire owners spent £147m on a golf contest despite there being a £146m black hole in the pension fund."

I would be boycotting P&O thats for sure.

Getting sick and tired of seeing stuff like this. It's every 5 minutes. Low and behold Euro Tunnel prices rocket as soon as P&O go tits up because they can make a killing. What a rip off this country is.

Supply and demand. Demand goes up and supply stays the same then prices go up. Same for everything unfortunately.

And carp anglers heading to France and mainland Europe are affected.
Also, it gives them the chance to avoid the company in the future.

P&O is just another case of profit over service and employees.
Their actions leave a very bad taste in the mouth.

Replacing uk staff with foreign agency staff according to reports


I can see it now, captain of the ship stood at the helm and the captain's mate stood next to him and the following conversation.

"Do me a favor Tamil pour me a cup from that thermos my mouths as dry as a chip I was installing a patio all day yesterday cutting the slabs with no dusk mask or water suppression.

"No problem Captain, bloody hell it was only a month ago we were coming across the channel in a dinghy and had parted with our life savings now look at us"

Not just 1 golf contest but the whole of the formerly known European Tour and now known as the DP world Tour!

They've opened themselves up effectively to 800 tribunals, no consultation on redundancies, could be expensive.

But even if they paid out 10 million in compensation, they will soon make it back with cheap labour

Sadly I probably agree with you. If they keep trading and offer the cheapest crossing most people with still use them as everything else is going up in price so saving a few quid is important to most people now
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
