Two years after the P&O sackings scandal, trade unions are warning that the Tories have 'done nothing' to stop bosses from repeating similar actions. The French government plans to force P&O Ferries to pay the French minimum wage, a move the UK government aims to replicate later this year. The UK Labour Party is urged to support ex-miners facing poverty due to historic injustices. Demonstrations are planned to protest the unlawful sacking of seafarers by P&O Ferries.

Signed. Hervé Berville, the French Secrétaire d’Etat chargé de la Mer, holds up the “against social-dumping on the English Channel” decree which he says will 1) compel P&O to pay crew the french minimum wage and 2) limit the hours its crews work to 2 weeks without a break… https://t.co/80rehsyaII

The Tories turned the other cheek and allowed workers to be brutally exploited. We need a government that will stand up to rogue corporations. https://t.co/8GGm3kF9sp
The French Government take the action our Government should have taken two years ago. Instead, they've sat back and allowed P and O to profit off their criminal behaviour. https://t.co/zkuFK84qYb
New: the president of Brittany Ferries says the French government will sign a decree tomorrow which will force P&O Ferries to pay the French minimum wage. It’s not clear how long the company will be given to comply. UK government hopes to implement similar law “in the summer”. https://t.co/kft3TW2mNN
2 years on and the @Conservatives have demonstrated to the entire nation that promises & commitments given by PM and #ministers in #houseofcommons about #P&O means nothing!! They have lied and failed uk #seafarers and #Port communities @RMTunion @The_TUC https://t.co/mqxgqElbAq

Will @UKLabour back our ex-miners by committing to right this historic injustice which has left them dying in abject poverty whilst the Government robs them blind @Ed_Miliband? What better way to level up coalfield communities. Let’s work TOGETHER to right this wrong https://t.co/us7psiCK1U

24 months after the P&O sackings scandal, trade unions are warning that the Tories have "done nothing" to stop bosses doing the same thing again - with @RMTunion Mick Lynch saying the perpetrators have gone 'unpunished'. Read more below: https://t.co/w6Mh5HTXX9

OTD in 1834, 6 farm labourers were sentenced to transportation to Australia for forming a trade union. And as Mick Lynch explained in May last year (when talking about the Tories Minimum Service legislation), the attacks on trade unions never stop. https://t.co/UVMbSio5V9
