If they want dividends, I suggest they sell and buy shell or BP. Royal mail will not be paying any for some time, if ever again as the possibility of there being no royal mail in the not too distant future is very real the way things are looking.
I would love to see a dog bite a robots 'leg'. Now that would be funny.
Meanwhile the British government give billions in financial aid to India, one of Russia's biggest oil buyers ...
Everyone seems to talk if losing all this money for the business striking but each day of iA is £7-8m of wages they are not paying. Ok, agency are doing all the tracked and will need paying for but it ain't 110000 people. Plus each day a FT postie strikes they take another HR off their annual leave saving even more money.
What was it , seen 3 different prices.
Just shot up bo and shell
Also that median figure of £32 just shows how much a non postie, IE management wages are. To earn £30k as a postie outside of London, you need to be working around 50hrs a week, every week .
Bae 146. There really is more to it than your simplistic what the media want you to hear view. It's not a 9% rise at all. Part of it is conditional on targets we would stand no chance of meeting. Non of it would be backdated so all of this yr we would have had a 2% pay rise when inflation has averaged around 10%. People losing various supplements would amount to more than a 5-10% pay CUT to some. Working later into the dark in winter is just dangerous in certain areas. People who are genuinely sick will lose pay from their 2nd absence. Ronds will become even more impossibly big to complete in time, leading to stress. Not everyone has the gumption to stand up to a manger 'encouraging' you to complete. That is if they don't let us keep a finished time. Did you know for example that the callers offices are being closed? You will get 2 chances to be in for your parcel then it will be returned to sender. What sort of service is that? And at what cost to the business? Make no mistake, the current BOD, it's not just Thompson, are for whatever reason, with the inadvertent help of the CWU, running this business into the ground. We will be bankrupt in a few months. If you took a look at most of the vans for instance, does that look like a company not on the verge of bankruptcy? From paying a 6% divi to bankruptcy in a yr would be some going for Thompson.
What a difference a month makes eh. You can never tell whats around the corner where it comes to investing.
but recent past results when on an upward trajectory must have some relevance.
JB the business doesn't have to fill vacancies. They are just backfilling with agency as and when they need it. The business has said a lot of things this year to be fair hasn't it.
It's not really 9% is it? If you look beyond the misleading headline. Have you also noticed the amount of agency working in your office? It's not their fault but they are taking our jobs. If you don't think the deal is bad, my advice would be try an get redundancy, either VR or compulsory and then apply to join the agency and come back.
Nothing has been agreed. I doubt it ever will. Both parties have been arguing over which is best ginger nobs or custard creams, in countless meetings for months.
Islesworth. Nice wish list but you may as well be writing it to santa. We both know you ain't gonna get what you wish for.
These family friendly hrs? Does that mean you break off to pick your offspring up from school, Take them home sit them in front of the tv with a sandwich , then go back out and finish your walk off LOL.
The wall st journal really needs investigating for this one.
How the hell wasn't yesterday major mkt manipulation?
If/when they cut heads, they will have to very quickly replace them with others, either agency or new starts on worse contracts. Either way, they will have to replace the VR people as we cannot clear offices currently with the staff we have.
His travel week report this week ( I get an email) seems very bullish on airline travel at the moment. Worth a read. Sorry, no good at posting links
