Government To Close Minimum Wage Loophole

LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND - MARCH 28: General view of P&O ferries Norbay (left) and Stena Forecaster at Gladstone Dock on March 28, 2022 in Liverpool, England. The UK government will introduce legislation in the House of Commons this week to close the loophole that allows Ferry operators to use UK ports but register their vessels overseas and pay crew less than the minimum wage. The move comes after P&O Ferries recently sacked 800 workers replacing them with agency workers who are being paid well below the UK minimum. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)
