Welcome to this podcast where we will be looking at the implications of P & O’s decision to sack 800 staff members without consultation, the affect this will have on staff members & their families as well as the wider implications for employment relations in the UK.

We are delighted to welcome John Lansdown, a P & O staff member for 15 years who has worked as a sous chef on the Pride of Canterbury and has refused his redundancy terms of £30,000 as well as signing a non-disclosure agreement.

Throughout the episode we look at:

Why businesses are allowed to operate and make tough decisions
How businesses should follow a legal process when making redundancies
What is the impact of redundancy on staff?
What is the impact of not treating staff fairly on staff who remain in the company as well as the brand?
Why Ethical Leadership should be a forefront off all modern day organisations

Send your questions to j.d.lord@salford.ac.uk and we will answer these during the podcast.
