Good! $7.25/Hour? That is totally unfair to the people who were fired. And the poor people who got hired at slave wages.🤬

P&O ferry detained after crew familiarisation and training failures, UK coastguard saysThe Maritime and Coastguard Agency said the European Causeway was held 'due to failures on crew familiarisation, vessel documentation and crew training'. Thats a cheap shot. Not useful.... but I am sure, they too - were looking out for the safety and comfort of the people. Who, in their right mind as a passenger, would want to get on a ferry who's company pays peanuts to people who don't know : 1. The layout of the ferry. 2. Haven't had time to learn the safety protocol's. 3. Potentially don't know the water they sail in. Monkey's is who! European Causeway is a little shoo of just 20,000 gross tonnes. If they failed on her, how are they supposed to manage with a 60,000 gross tonne vessel like the Pride of Hull. Pride of Hull is a completely different and more complex beast.
