Russian boats and P&O ferries sitting outside British ports like *’well this is awkward’*
Makes for a nice headline but actually completely idiotic and unworkable.
A nice headline but will it actually happen? Bojo’s crew have a long track record of back tracking ..
Logical extension; ferry companies will now have to pay staff more, costs go up, to ensure profits they will have to increase the cost of ferry crossings.
That leads to two outcomes; increased costs which are accepted or non accepted costs which puts the ferry companies out of business.
Either way your going to read about it in the Daily Mail.
How about cruise liners that dock here, none of them pay our minimum wage
Opening a can of worms there. About to find out just how many ferry companies use cheap labour
Most of the freight ships servicing British ports are all Filipino crewed, with those guys making buttons in comparison to. British crews anyway. They should extend this to cover those guys.
This is not what Johnson said in PMQs on 23rd March. He said Shipping where it travels **exclusively** in UK waters would have the living wage as a minimum, so basically river ferries. International shipping is not exclusive to UK waters by definition. I am guessing they back tracking on the living wage as they do not wish to enforce that on local ferry companies.
Just more Tory bullshit with absolutely no effect.
Plans = says we are going to do something for the credit but then not do it.
They’re NOT paying minimum wage now.
Nowhere does it say, “at least”.
With this government, it wouldn’t surprise me if they actually meant this literally.
If you pay your staff over minimum wage, then you have no business in the UK.
