DP World, the UAE-based owner of P&O Ferries, has delayed announcing a £1bn investment in the UK due to political backlash surrounding its treatment of workers.
Angela Rayner described P&O Ferries' actions as outrageous, underscoring the government's intent to implement stronger employment rights through new legislation to protect workers from practices like 'fire and rehire.'
Transport Secretary Louise Haigh made it clear that her department is boycotting P&O Ferries, stating, 'We are not to have anything to do with them, and certainly not engaging with them.'
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, the chair of DP World, has chosen to withdraw from a significant UK investment summit amid criticism from government officials about P&O Ferries' labor practices.
