Not consulting on P&O job cuts broke law, boss admits
Labour MP Darren Jones asks P&O' Ferries' Peter Hebblethwaite: “Are you just a shameless criminal?”
He said there was "absolutely no doubt" that under UK employment law the firm was required to consult unions before making the mass cuts.He said no union would have accepted P&O's job slashing plans. Most of them will be replaced by foreign workers who will be paid less than the minimum wage, Mr Hebblethwaite told MPs at a joint transport and business committee on Thursday.
Asked whether P&O broke the law by not consulting unions, he said: "We've moved from one operating model to another. It was our assessment that the change was of such a magnitude that no union could possibly accept our proposal."
