More callous capitalism:
P&O boss Peter Hebblethwaite received a £183k bonus to top up his salary of £325k in 2023 to over half a million... after laying off 800 sailors with no notice or consultation & replacing them with lower paid (£2.90 an hour) foreign workers.
He then told the HoC today that of course he couldn't live on such a low wage... then why does think anyone else should?!!!
The rank hypocrisy of it is staggering; Mick Lynch is right, he should be in jail!
