Despite Boris Johnson’s assurances that Britain’s departure from the EU would be better for UK workers, there have been fears it would be seen by the government as an opportunity to erode workers’ rights in a bid to increase competitiveness. However, the reality is that, so far at least, there has been no derogation from EU employment rights and the scope for any backsliding is limited. Contained within the trade and cooperation agreement with the EU, there is a non-regression clause, under which Britain agreed not to reduce employment rights below the standards existing on 31 December 2020 in a manner that would affect trade or investment. The EU could take retaliatory measures such as tariffs if trade or investment were affected and could also legally challenge the regression before a panel of experts. Alas the UK has been haemorrhaging jobs for decades irrespective of who was in power or what trade club we were in. Strange that over the years we, generally, just accepted the export of employment with hardly a murmur but of late? Besides employment law is very complicated. I'm sure of one thing though; the lawyers will win. Anyway this thread is likely to get very political, so no more from me |

Got this email from P&O cruises. They must be quite scared to have put out such an email. Apart from this thread I did not know they were different
"As Britain’s favourite cruise line, your loyalty, advocacy and support has always meant the world to us. P&O Cruises has been part of Carnival Corporation & plc for over 20 years and has no connection to P&O Ferries. Our thoughts go out to all those affected by yesterday’s news. However, please be assured it’s business as usual on our cruises and our crew look forward to welcoming you on board soon." macafee2 |
