It was good old failing Grayling who signed into law without debate that the laws applicable are those where the ships are registered which in P&O case is Cyprus. I am sure it was de Pfeffel doing his usual if cornered lie and later get a minister to say it was misinterpreted.

You were saying?

I would not get too carried away let us see if the government take them to court and if they are able to make P&O reverse their decisions.

Shouldn't that be up to a court to decide the outcome and not the government?, just asking like

How can a court make a decision on this case unless the government takes P&O to court and don’t forget it is the government’s own employment laws. There are severe doubts that based on the current laws it is questionable if they have, well in the U.K. anyway.
They don’t need a court case to have P&O reverse their decision because I am sure they have enough leverage with contracts awarded and the fact that DP World are involved in the government’s Freeports. The question is do they have the will to do so.

I'll leave you to reflect on your contradictions if that's okay , I'm sure YOU know what you want to say:D

It’s not a contradiction because if the laws do not allow the government to take P&O to court then no decision for them to make. The alternative would be to use leverage against the company as stated but it is unlikely that de Pfeffel will want to upset the actual owners of DP World.
I hope that explains my posts but for clarity I expect them to do nothing. What do you think they will do because you are very good at trying to pick faults with others without offering any views of your own, that is if you actually have any.

The most telling statement today was that P&O would do it again because our government obviously holds no fear to them. I wonder if they would act the same if it was France for example.

The problem is with the system, not the company.

Big companies dont care a hoot who is the courier
.

They care if their product gets there on time.
The company i work for ships to Ireland 2 times a week, it matters little who ships it, as long as it gets there.

The P & O Chief admitted breaking the law:

P&O Ferries boss admits they broke law over sackings The firm's boss Peter Hebblewaite gave evidence to a Commons select committee a week after sacking staff via zoom. He revealed that new staff are being paid between £5.15 and £6 an hour, which is below the UK's minimum wage of £8.91.

It will be interesting to see just what action can be taken against them and whether the Tories follow through with some of their threats, dont hold your breath on any action though.

Unfortunately, you're right.
Mind you, if any freight has suffered delays with recent goings on, they will give P & O a miss, at least in the short term.
