Cruise line operators Carnival and P&O Cruises threaten to fire over 900 UK staff - and then offer them the same jobs back with lower pay - unless they accept cuts now.

"The lives of hundreds more seafarers are once again being upended by bad bosses who know they can get away with it."

I'm usually strongly against the practice of #FireAndRehire, which always results in an erosion of workers' rights.

But I think we could do an exception with the #Met.

The criteria for rehire could be simple: not being accused of rape, not sharing pictures of dead ppl on social media, not doing strip searches on minors, etc...
