@ Oli G.
I assumed DerekR's alluded to the fact that more over 50s go sick.
As I said earlier: Couldnt be more wrong in my office.
We may however, be slower.

I would totally agree that 47% of the workforce are over 50, however that does not mean that they are going to retire when they reach 60. My office has quite a few in the 60 to 70 age bracket and the majority are in the CWU. It is also worth noting that the majority of over 50s are usually "lifers" with many years service and long memories regarding senior management plus they now have the financial means to afford to take industrial action (and also support their younger relatives or children who also may work for RM) so I wouldn't be surprised if another ballot returns over 75% turnout with over 90% in favour.
DerekR thanks. I have also been looking for the attrition figure I think that maybe around the 7-8% level as that was quoted as being sufficient to cover any headcount reduction required/achieved through productivity/savings initiatives.I am pretty sure that was in a presentation by Sally Ashford. Interesting that the S/L isn't as high as certainly I and possibly others thought. The ageing workforce was also a bit of a surprise I wonder if that ties into length of service numbers perhaps suggesting people are happy to stay working for RMG.
@ DerekR
"""" 47% of RMGs workforce is over 50 years of age. Which is a positive in terms of experience but carries lots of risks."""
I speak for my office only, but I like to think it's indicative nationally.
You could not be more wrong!

The perception here is that it is only blue collar workers that go sick.
For anybody that thinks that managers don't go sick, think again.
The same t's & c's apply to everyone. They are on a much higher wage too.
Notwithstanding the actual amount of managers we have, that we don't need. And white collar workers too.

Oligarch certainly worth focussing on but as I have said it has to done sensibly and we should never forget the process is there to help not challenge the genuineness of anyone's illness.
JB, with a UKPIL wage bill of £4086m it looks like sick leave is running at around £278m.
Cutting this from 6.8% to 5% would save around £75m alone which would almost pay for the next hour of the SWW.
On facebook,talks gone really badly,looks like going to re ballot for strike action.
Oligarch I don't recall seeing a £ number shown anywhere but I think our sick absence for the business ran about 6.8% and that is a significant cost. The cost of wages and salaries from the annual report showed 4086M for 2019.
Wages and salaries (4,666) (4,506)
UKPIL (4,086)
