How on earth is there “no realistic chance of a prosecution” when even the CEO admitted to MPs he’d committed a crime?!
They don’t even care how they look. The levels of open corruption are off the scale now.
In case you didn’t read the article, P&O posted record profits after claiming they had to sack these staff to save the company.
And green light given for other companies
The AG has decided the parade has moved on, and as this isn’t on the front page anymore they don’t have to pretend to care.
The P&O boss admitted to a comitee of MP’s that he knew it was a crime and did it anyway, the whole thing recorded and shown on TV hundreds of times and….
WHAT THE FUCK

The UK; soft on white collar crime, soft on the causes of white collar crime.
I can see why this outcome would be helpful for the government, considering they want to do the same thing – bringing in agency / temp staff to the railways

So now every other company knows that they can do this and get away with it… good job
Too upper class to be seen in a working class prison
Reading the article, it seems that P&O broke the law in not “consulting” the workforce.
Consultations are always pointless in terms of changing the outcome, although they do give a heads up that sackings are coming.
There is no law that would have stopped the sackings.
So perhaps the law needs changing, as indeed some in the article say.
They cant prosecute them when our shit shower of a government are bringing a law that will allow firms to use agency workers to do the jobs of people on strike.
Weak as piss government to happy to take foreign money than look after their own people
Just start and fold companies repeatedly after taking out business loans. Just give your local tory MP 10% of the proceeds so that the cops look the other way.
I would have been surprised if the government did anything besides the token stuff at appeasing people. All they did was give the CEO a slap on the wrist, pretended to bolluck P&O and moved on. Hell, Liz Truss likely wants this to be the normal way of dealing with those pesky workers who dare to ask for a very small raise to cope with the cost of living.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you.
