faraway saint Posted March 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 A P&O ferry has been grounded in N Ireland amid safety concerns. No surprise, rushing through inexperienced staff, a disaster waiting to happen. A P&O Ferries ship is being held in Northern Ireland because it is "unfit to sail", the transport secretary says. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency confirmed the European Causeway had been held in Larne. The MCA said there were "failures on crew familiarisation, vessel documentation and crew training". P&O Ferries sacked 800 staff without notice eight days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted March 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 I wouldn't be traveling on any of these ferries for the foreseeable................... One of the maritime agencies recruiting workers for P&O Ferries is advertising for crew members, saying no previous experience at sea required. Union officials warn that P&O Ferries could be jeopardising safety after dismissing 800 crew members and replacing them with workers paid less than the minimum wage. One of the firm’s vessels has been detained at Larne in Northern Ireland for being “unfit to sail” because of concerns over training. One of the companies recruiting for P&O Ferries, CSM Baltics – part of Columbia Shipmanagement, one of the world’s largest ship managers – has posted an ad on Facebook saying: “We are looking for a large number of stewards to work 12 hours day on board our ships and to have rest of 12 hours in hotels in France. No seafarers’ documents are needed, just previous experience in hospitality institutions.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascal Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 Some might buy a certain poster a one way ticket. P&O being the Ferry of Choice. (Only joking. Would miss the bampot’s ramblings). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted April 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Christ, these people are unreal....................... P&O Ferries has been forced to reverse an attempt to pay its new, cheaper agency workers even less money. It comes after the RMT Union received reports of agency workers at Dover being asked to sign new contracts replacing their old ones on lower pay. The union reported P&O Ferries to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, which ensured the new workers retained their original wages. The company has been asked for comment but has so far not responded. P&O Ferries sacked almost 800 employees last month and brought in cheaper agency workers on some of its boats, in a move it said would ensure the future of the business. However, the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) said the firm was now "trying to bring in an exploitative model, with the lowest possible standards they can get away with". RMT said that a seafarer on the Spirit of Britain ferry at Dover had initially contacted the union begging for help in a dispute over pay. In an email seen by the BBC the worker wrote: "They don't care about our rights. They try to give us less money. We are desperate." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures leaked today confirm that the public and business's are, indeed, using other providers. Serves the b'strds right, an utterly stupid decision, badly managed and a PR disaster.

beyond our ken Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 now there are not enough airport workers to service the current demand which is still below pre-pandemic. Brexit must be a factor as we no longer have the same levels of EU workers and we currently have more vacancies in this country than workers to fill them. Low skilled and low-paid jobs that still have a major effect on the economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brexit been a disaster the manager of the hotel said. Plenty of shops and bars also had sign saying staff wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Brexit has been an unmitigated disaster for my trade and my business. Increased costs to bring stuff in and increased costs via tariffs ( which we were told wouldn’t happen ) when we sell to our N.I. Customers. Couriers charging a fortune and some simply not taking parcels due to the paperwork involved and the shortage of local drivers. The shortage of workers in Hotels , Travel , leisure in tourism has been made worse by businesses who furloughed employees during covid and now can’t attract them back or in the case of airlines, they can’t get their safety currency back on tap quick enough to cope with rise in numbers. But hey , it’s worth it coz we took back control 🙄😡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
