This is classic example of Modern day slavery. C.EO who wont get out of bed for £4.70 ph but expect British workers to accept it . This CEO highlights international staff he recruits because he knows asia he would recruit .

One is mindful of MP's who are paid a salary of £90,000 Plus, they don't have to clock-in and I doubt many perform a 40-hour week for that salary. They also have a very generous expenses account, not to mention their pension arrangements. They employ staff in their office to deal with their consituents. All-in-all, not a bad arrangement - if you can get it.

@@apollofsx MP's look after number one. Look at Kier Starmer for example. He is the ONLY person in the UK who had a piece of legislation passed through parliament to protect his pension. Look it up - "The Pension Increase (Pension Scheme for Kier Starmer QC) Regulations 2013". CEO's have a fiduciary DUTY to their shareholders - the people who put their money into a company in order that the company can operate and make money - and, by the way, employ people.

Sure , he looked bad. But it is his job to take the flak and shield the owners of P&O. He will walk away from this inquiry with his head held high, change nothing and the shareholders will clap him at the next board meeting. Nothing will change and everyone involved knows it. Until the owners of P&O are held to account, this is a waste of time.

It is capitalism which generates money, creates jobs. If, for example, the rail network moves from a commercial enterprise to being nationalised, the unions will see it as a bottomless pit of money and screw British Rail to the floor with pay demands. Fares will rise or the taxpayers will foot the bill. Either way, it will cost the government nothing - since governments don't MAKE money, they just spend it.

@@johnmc2514 Agreed - but they have to be reasonable. Look at the Post Office delivery sector. The price of postage as risen over the years to the point where people don't send letters unless it is absolutely necessary. Companies are moving to paper-free systems, people are using other means of communicating. Postmen (and women) will become a thing of the past and they are pricing themselves out of the market. How come UPS and other delivery companies can make a profit but the Post Office can't? - perhaps because the Communication Workers Union think the Post Office is a bottomless pit of money - but it isn't.

What an appalling display of corporate greed and weazling around the issues when questioned. Since the sackings I have not and will not use P&O on principle. I've used DFDS a few times now and found them to be superb. People I know who have used P&O describe the ships as dirty, the crew as practically non existent ( apart from in the duty free shop) and the ships just having a poor atmosphere aboard.

"In citing the average wage, which includes the exorbitant salary of the CEO alongside the modest earnings of the majority of the workforce, the company attempts to justify its low pay rises to core workers. However, this argument is a prime example of the fallacy of averaging. By merely calculating the average wage without regard to its distribution, the company overlooks the substantial gap between the CEO's compensation and that of the average worker. This fallacious reasoning attempts to obscure the glaring income inequality within the organization, failing to address the fundamental issue of fair and equitable compensation for all employees. Thus, relying on averages to justify disparities in pay is not only misleading but also absurd, as it fails to acknowledge the inherent inequities and undermines the value of meaningful wages for the core workforce."
