Carnival UK Withdraws Fire and Rehire Threat, Nautilus Welcomes Decision

P&O Cruises and Cunard, both part of the Carnival group, have threatened to fire and rehire over 900 UK-based crew members unless they accept salary cuts and more flexible working arrangements. The affected crew, including officers on the Queen Mary 2, face dismissal in early 2024 if they do not agree to changes that could reduce their annual earnings by up to 20%. The move has drawn criticism from the union for maritime professionals, Nautilus International, and calls for the UK government to outlaw the practice of fire and rehire. This situation echoes a similar employment scandal involving P&O Ferries last year.
