Odd P&O afraid of their dirty laundry coming out in public.....

Not forgetting that P&O Ferries is just a brand name bought by DP World of United Arab Emirates.

Eh? Summat wrong here.

£35mil payout, 800 workings that's 45k ea. Granted rough but it's well in to five figures.


So that negates my rough 45k but no worker would receive less that £15k which is five figures.


But everyone got in a five figure region as the minimum so that makes no sense at all.

Got to wonder why the other 799 accepted a pay out. P&O broke the law so all 800 had them over a barrell. First offer of pay out is always a low baller and they would undoubtedly get more when facing court and I would bet more if it went to court. So why on earth did the other 799 accept? Surely it would have been a no brainer to go to the next level? Someone (or 799) people fecked up I'd say.

Having been in the forced redundancy area personally Employers HR teams are quite ruthless and accomplished in these cases. I held out for more which they didn't like at all. After the papers were signed I thanked them for the large wodge of cash and my P45 and said my new employer was pleased I was starting the next day. Very satisfying.

Their offer is presented as the only option.

I was hoping one of the big employment lawyers would do a no win no fee and ream P&O like they were NLyUK with a strap on.

He was offered less than his salary.

But Mr Lansdown, a sous-chef from Kent on cross-Channel routes, refused as he would have taken no more than his £30,827 annual salary.

He is now getting more.

After a six-month legal battle, the company conceded that no consultation took place before Mr Lansdown was sacked and that he was in fact unfairly dismissed.

A slight catch from the settlement, however, is that Mr Lansdown agreed not to disclose the sum paid to him but it is understood to be substantially higher than the pay-off he refused.

Reports at the time said that no worker would receive less than £15,000 while more than 40 were in line for compensation higher than £100,000.

So that negates my rough 45k but no worker would receive less that £15k which is five figures.

-John Lansdown, 40, sued P&O on the grounds of unfair dismissal and has won an out-of-court settlement, believed to be in the five-figure region.
