@ Scampthedog.
Dear oh dear. Another one of "those people".
While some of your points are valid, the majority should read IMO.
Let me speak for the people i work with.
We won't be working Sundays.
We won't be starting up to 3 hours later.
We will not be finishing a minimum of 3 hours later.
We will not have flexi hours or annualised hours.
The level of disruption this will cause to the majority of delivery staff's lives, is not acceptable.
I'm not actually sure why anyone on here would think it is.
I don't get why the investors here think we should roll over and accept these changes.
They are not necessary.
I have no idea what is going through Thompsons mind, but he is clearly deluded.

As for VESA, bring it on.
As for GLS being sold, and?
As for re-nationalization, i welcome it.

We will be striking. That's the long and short of it. The money saved through not paying wages will be more than swallowed up by agency staff. And then you have the DoR's! Maybe RMG could ask you and your new like-minded friends to go out on delivery?

£92 Million loss in the first quarter? Adjusted operating losses.

@ Anger.
You need to read my posts. I've worked with agency staff in delivery, you haven't.
The desire to get the job done is not there. I wouldn't tar every agency worker like that, but the majority.
They are useless. So, replacing 75,000 striking workers, the yes vote, plus the 26,000 that didn't vote, with agency staff, will not be cost effective. Despite the savings made through non-payment of wages.
In delivery, and i speak from experience, you will need 2 agency staff to replace each striking postie.
You will still have "THOSE PEOPLE" to fall back on though. They can always help the agency staff.

A very strongly worded statement, again.
Denying the reason for our suspension, again.
I would assume that due diligence is being done in the background to determine the involvement of Abramovich et al, to the Russian government.
If it can be proven that there is no affiliation, we could and should be trading again.

@ Oli G.
@ Dynamo.
@ any RMG employee.
Who is going to manually sort these items up when they arrive i delivery offices? That's after we've all been sacked, according to Scamp.
Yes, we have idiot boards. Very time consuming though.
Maybe RMG will pay out loads of overtime to cover this eventuality?

@ Anger.
I didn't say 0% chance of agency staff stepping in.
They cannot do the job on delivery. I've seen it. I posted earlier, 3 agency staff for 1 duty.

Tomorrow Scampthedog will be saying something different.

And as for making the union weaker, let's see what happens. That's an odd statement from somebody who doesn't work for RMG. I have never seen the union stronger than now. From a local perspective, of course.

@ Oli G.
Ask telso and do the opposite. LOL.

@ Anger.
How much are they going to pay these people? Let's say that every striking person is covered by agency staff. Is this beneficial to RMG?
Agency staff? Who can take 2 hours to deliver to a road of 100 addresses?

@ Scampthedog.
Have you ever worked in delivery for RMG?
If you have, have you ever seen an agency worker and how they work?
If you think for one second that Angard casuals will have the same output as the current crop of posties, after they have been "promoted" to F/T or P/T RMG staff, you are seriously deluded.

@ Oli G.
Well spotted. The interesting thing is volumes are still up compared to pre covid.

@ Oli G.
Didn't telso say 250p yesterday? I wouldn't be taking a leaf out of his book.
I do hope he didn't go short!

@ cautiousstone.
There is a premium payment for working Sunday. Not Saturday.
And how would that benefit me?
You've heard of the USO?

@ HH1.
Two years ago in one office in my area, 3 temps. 24 hours.

@ Anger.
You keep mentioning the £1 M daily loss.
I'm not going to pretend i know how stacks up, so i won't.
But surely, if the company are actually losing this much, then the sensible thing to do would be to cancel the dividend.
£120 M saving. Or is okay for the staff to take all the BS coming their way, and not the owners.

@ Jimoc.
My post @ 22.05. Only my opinion though.

@ Jimoc.
My post. Not Anger.
Have you heard of parcel duties? They're all the rage at the moment!

@ Anger.
You really do not understand what i'm saying.
Letters and untracked items still have to be delivered. You've heard of the USO?
I'll break this down into times if you like based on a 35 hour week:

S.D's, letters and untracked items: 5.30am -12.30pm Monday - Saturday
Tracked items: 2.pm - 9pm Monday - Sunday

Obviously, with less items to sort and deliver, the deliveries increase but only in delivery points, not time.
So the delivery points you take from one duty and pass to another, frees up hours for the parcel duties. The more delivery points you pass on, the more parcel duties you have.
Sundays could be a premium service. I'm not sure how the figures stack up, but i believe it's workable.
It's quite simple in my book. But what do i know. I'm just a postie.

Results today show that the company are losing £1m a day. You agree with that?
Did this loss occur overnight? Were there any losses in the last period? When shareholders were paid £400 million pounds. When managers, including Thompson were paid bonuses for failing to achieve targets.

GLS? It may be separated off. You will get shares in the new company but your value holding in RMG will diminish, likewise. But should this happen, and RMG is nationalised, if you think you'll get face value, £8 billion as you say, think again.

@ JBT.
That's excellent news.
Despite what many think, the CWU and it's members are not opposed to automation.

@ Anger.
If Thompson wants a parcel led business, then he can have it.
I have posted before what i believe is the solution.
Letters and small packets early, and parcels later in the day. After the posties have finished.
Now, i know that may not sit comfortably with many regarding the arrival of letters, in line with the green agenda (BS), but let's be honest, the hierarchy don't care about letters.

I'm also not sure "what is your fault." I just don't think it's a good time to be holding shares. I believe there will be IA. I believe that the second vote will again be unanimous. How 2 strikes for different things run with each other , i don't know.
Regarding GLS. If it means that RMG is nationalised again, your welcome to your profits, or reduced losses.
What do you think the market would price GLS at? And how much would shareholders like yourself have to be compensated if ROYAL MAIL were to be nationalised? Where would that money come from?

@ Oli G.
Post of the day. Literally, tears in my eyes.

@ telso.
I know you have me on filter but, how old should a postie be?
