@ Redceo.
Arsenal was buying at 380p, so he must have averaged down loads to stand a chance of breaking even.
Hmmm?

Agenda for growth agreement, not the way forward agreement.

@ prdc.

If your managers are allowing posties to finish 2 hours early, therein lies the problem.
Absolutely useless management. Not strong enough or maybe just too chicken to allocate more work.
Page 27 paragraph 1 of the way forward agreement: Fully utilise all paid hours.
Now, if my manager wants to let me go home 2 hours early am I going to argue with him?
**** poor management will drag this company down, not the posties.

@ GTx.
I'll think you find that all RMG employees are entitled to sick pay. I've been with RM for 30 years and my sickness benefits are no different to somebody who's been there 30 months. Assuming of course that the person has passed their probationary period. Which, i'm sure you'll know, includes how many times you've been sick.
Does that resonate with you???

And regarding the extra hour we are about to lose. I'll make this easy for you. You are paid to work 38 (soon to be 37) hours a week. Why is that a struggle?

1 - You come in at your time.
2 - You finish at your time.
3 - You take your paid for meal breaks.
4 - If you think you might not be able to complete you tell a manager. Let them guide you as to what you should do.
5 - You don't kill yourself on delivery.
6 - If you want to work overtime, work it.

It really is that simple. You do understand, don't you GTx?

@ nomlungo.
What happened to the negative ones?
January, roses, forkie, hard, Chelsea?
Maybe they've all "gone" if you know what I mean.

As for me, i'm just sitting here waiting for the company to fold. Or make me a fortune. Time will tell.
Either way, i'm still happy.

I Spy

@ JB.
The reduction is meant to come from the start time. So you do the same manual work in less time, apparently get out of the door for delivery at the same time, and finish at the same time. More work done in less hours.
It all gets a little more complicated the more you drill into the details. But that's the essence of it.

No biggie as far as i'm concerned. You start later and finish at the same time. If you can't complete, you fail. Simple.

@ RoyAlMail.
Which means we get paid for them.
I get it now. You're a manager.

@ Defroster.
That depends on what you want from the company.
I know what I want. And I know what the majority on this board want.

@ RoyAlMail.
Errrrr, it's on the top of my wage slip. 38 hours for £ ?????.
THAT IS MY EVIDENCE!
If you're a postie I would've thought that basic reading was a requisite of the job.
If you're NOT, at least do some homework before you call me out!!

Despite the fact that I think Falklandinvestor is the most pointless poster that I have ever come across, he could be right with 175p or lower.
Not because of the very vague reasons he gives, which are so vague I cannot remember them. More to do with Mr Backs stance on the agreement last year and how the CWU deal with it. There is clearly going to be a ballot if Mr Back does not uphold RMG's side of the agreement.
And while actual IA may not happen, I am certain it will be a resounding yes for action. It does intrigue me to see the market reaction to a yes vote for IA, but more so if it actually happened. I wouldn't like to guess where the share price would be then.
Over to you Rico.

@ wolvesposty.
What exactly is the point you are making as a postie?
1 - Sick pay. You benefit if you are sick by getting your full wages paid. As do managers!!!
2 - Meal reliefs. A management issue not a posties. If management cannot manage down time within the office they should not be in that position. I suppose you, as a super postie, work flat out all day every day. You never talk to your colleagues (I won't say mates) because that would be dead time. Outdoor actuals to manage breaks is in force. But i'm yet to see anybody disciplined because of it. You should be worried more about what you do inside the office. It's called indoor lapsing. Understand?
3 - Pensions. Do you not realise it's not what you put in it's what you get out? This single point that you have made epitomises how ridiculous your entire argument is!
The CWU defend your terms and conditions, plain and simple. that applies whether or not you are in the CWU. I go on strike, lose money, but get the best deal for all posties. That includes the scabs. If it wasn't for the likes of me and mad, you would not have the conditions you have today.
Now do you understand!!!

@ RoyAlMail. The evidence is in your pay packet that you get paid breaks. If you didn't your salary would be about 40 quid a week lighter. 2 grand a year.

I Spy

@ Arsenal. Well done.
So you hold or held about 30000 shares, minimum, on ex divi day.
I know you bought in at 380p and have been averaging down ever since. So somewhere along the line your figures don't add up.
You wouldn't be lying to your old mate, would you Arsenal?
Or are you going to tell me that you sold and re-invested at a much lower level?

I Spy (with my little eye, something beginning with " L " )

@ Arsenal.
Hello mate. You must've averaged down loads since the good old days of 380p.
I hope it hasn't cost you too much. I don't think the dividends you've accrued would cover your 50% paper loss.
Never mind eh?

I Spy

@ wolvesposty.
Lets see who's happy when your t's & c's are eventually eroded. The benefit of the union being strong is that it gives us bargaining power. Take that away and the likes of you and your less than militant friends will not be happy.
Some examples of what RMG would like:

1 - Take away your sick pay (which new starters get after 1 year I believe) from everyone
2 - Unpaid meal breaks
3 - Further reduced pensions

That's the tip of the iceberg. If it wasn't for the union strength, these will be the first to go.
Fruitster (I think) said pay and conditions are good. I 100% agree. But you, and all the other posties who share your thoughts, really need to think why your terms are so favourable.
It's not because RMG like you.

I Spy

@ nomlungo.
The point I was trying to make, was that the wording had already been used before.
In an earlier post by you at 18.02 you stated that " YOU HAVE READ MANY RNS'S AND YOUR MEMORY SAYS THAT YOU HAVE NOT READ THAT PHRASE".
That took me all of 10 seconds to see that you may have been slightly disingenuous.
So, nothing about fund raising, more about your creative posting.

I also note, that you're thinking of buying "back in".

I Spy

@nomlungo.
I'm sure I read something very similar in VALs last patent allowance. I think it was January. The RNS that is.
I cant remember much of a deal made about it then.
I assume that after allowance, the fee is paid and then it's granted.
I could be wrong of course.

Talking of January, where is he????
And Rose's????

@ Scampthedog.
Your post 13.10 Friday:

""Here our my thoughts regarding the current s.p, Fruitster: yes, regarding any reasonable metrics, Royal Mail shares look as "cheap as chips"...but not when you take the threat of possible strike action into account. I have warned about this dangerous factor many times, here, on this site; I would think long and hard about buying these shares at this moment in time. The CWU is not joking when they announce their great alarm and partial rejection of the company's latest business plans; I consider balloting for strike action is now almost inevitable...and I would expect this to become very public around about early October. Regarding that present share price? In my opinion: now carries a high risk for a big downside"""

This has to be one of the oddest posts I have read.
You claim to be a holder but every single thing in that post is extremely negative.
No wonder you're disappearing until October. Your agenda is very clear to see.

@ Hereshopin.
And they'll be delivered. With a smile on my face. Regardless of the weather or if i'm being bitten by dogs or abused by customers. That's because you're paying my wages. Duuurrrrhhhh!!!!

Answer this question that I posed earlier.
If you could work a 30 hour week and get paid for 38 hours, would you do it?
Simple enough for you?
Or is that a pathetic question?

I Spy

@ Mrd & Hereshopin
You both might if your meagre investment takes a big hit.
Instead of gobbing off (keyboard warriors) it might be in your interests to take notice of what us "dinosaur militants" say.
Just a bit of advice for you both.
