P&O ferries is offering to pay workers around 6 months' salary (more for some workers) in exchange for not criticizing the company.

This stingy offer would only slightly soften the harm done to workers.

Ferry workers at that company, and any competitors that follow the switch to temporary workers, will lose a large fraction of that amount (let's guess half of it) every six months for the rest of their lives. Perhaps for decades. This "compensation" compensates only for the transient harm, not for the lasting harm.

The change will harm passengers too, with bad service and increased risk of accidents that would result from the frequent turnover.

The company may be fined millions of pounds if convicted of illegal dismissal, but even that wouldn't undo the damage.

The only way to correct the damage is to make the company back down. Of course, Bogus Johnson doesn't want to do that.

However, lockable tiny rooms could also help.
