Peter Hebblethwaite, boss of P&O has been voted the worst boss in the world by the International Trade Union Confederation.
In March, Scottish MP Monica Lennon called Hebblethwaite the most hated man in Britain. In May, it received the award for the worst employer in Europe, given by the European Transport Workers' Federation.
Two days ago, on November 21, he was voted the worst boss in the world by the International Trade Union Confederation.
Despite stiff competition, Amazon boss Jeff Bezos, who received the award in 2014, came in second. Hebblethwaite received the most votes in an online poll ahead of the ITUC's annual convention, which is held in Melbourne, Australia, and brings together a thousand trade unionists from a hundred countries.
The boss of P&O Ferries, a company that transports passengers and goods between the UK, France, the Netherlands and Ireland, has laid off nearly 800 staff, informing them in a simple video message that it was their last day of work. Shocked and with nothing to lose, some of the sailors tried to take over the ships, before being escorted by military guards. There was no consultation or notification, contrary to UK law.
