Borrow 375k.
And I'm referring to lower band nurses and NHS workers, newly qualified etc, it's no wonder they can't entice a full workforce.
I've just got a bee in my bonnet about the railway workers, who earn the most of all the strikers, cause the most disruption and only need initial job skills of making a cup of tea, read the sun, and be able to fill out a ballot paper for striking purposes.

Some nurses are on 26k having done an intense 4 year degree on all aspects of the anatomy, which leaves a take home of about 2k per month. They do get a market supplement payment according to where they live. But its pretty dismal for qualified staff that often are more knowledgeable than GPS, imo.
However, some train middle management are on 100k and initially voted to strike before thinking twice about it.
Their wages range from approximately 40k to 70k per year, for a non qualified job.
Imo the problem is that a lot of these workers on good money, let's face it, are so maxed out with their mortgages that every 1% rise in interest rates is hundreds each month.
Don't tell me these people on 40-50k a year can't afford to pay an extra 50p for a chicken, 20p for a pint if milk etc. Stuff goes up.
It's the interest rate rises impacting mortgage and rent payments that are the problem.
Personally I wouldn't 375k to buy a 400k house, because it always leaves you vulnerable to this scenario.

Sorry about the spelling errors.

They want to dictate the terns and conditions if their employment!
They want more money and they also want no lay offs as a result of the companies putting in cist saving measures to stay in business, like pretty much every it her company out there.
Ie RR, IAG, M&S, Tescos, Amazon, Microsoft etc etc etc.
If there needs to be lay offs to meet cost efficiencies, tough luck like everyone else.
And that comment is aimed only at the RMT, not NHS workers.

Yeah thats a good shout Josewales, I think the market would like that and it would help support the sp from shorters to a certain extent.
And it would make sense whilst the sp is very depressed.

I emailed ir@nationalexpress.com
And received a reply from Louise.
She didn't put her surname but I recall seeing Louise down somewhere under the investors relations sectiin of their website.

I guess what I'm saying is, they can hardly reinstate dividends for shareholders without agreeing a pay deal of sorts.
So unless one is agreed within the next 3 weeks, I can see dividends being delayed until H2, possibly.

They possibly should have done what RR did and give a one off 2k cost of living payment and then a more appropriate pay rise.

Just a thought, is it likely that they would reinstate dividends without agreeing a pay offer for the strikers?

This is the last paragraph of an email I received from IR, just to refresh anyone's minds that read it.

That said, you are right that our share price has underperformed for the last 2 years. Clearly our Executive management team and the Board are aware of this and are continuing to take actions to improve the financial results and reduce the level of gearing. Our full year results are due on 2nd March and will contain a full update of our current position and our plans for the next year.

No takeover, that's ridiculous, would have leaked and price going the other way.
This is leaked bad news, there's no glossing over how stand out this fall is today

We know pretty much what the results are, from the TU in December.
We know that there will be one off costs impacting profit for the last time as they are business sales related, we know it will be HY when debt is seen to be minimal, so it depends on whether the market sees through to later in the year, otherwise I'm guessing proper rerate in August.

Somethings clearly wrong today, don't you think?
And despite acknowledgement and semi reassuring email from them, it does make you wonder why a large seller would sell 3 weeks before results. That's if it is a large seller.

When exactly, I've been here over 2 years and apart from covid, the low is 124.
Only logical explanation here is large seller knows results and reducing

Something not right. Drops too big for just short games

They're suckering in buyers then taking it down further.

The largest holder is Jorge C who increased stake to 12% last August, next are M&G and Liontrust both on 7%, neither have traded since last April/May.

It's tanking. What the f is going on.

If they were selling down for ages, surely we would have seen an TR1.
2 shorts increased Friday, who knows about Monday.
The way this is falling this morning on small sells and volume, its ludicrous.
As for long term large holders, how long do they give such a poorly performing share.

Well it's getting to the point that the board need to pull a rabbit out or investors will start leaving.
It should never be down on a day like this.
Even my worse performing stocks are up, Nex aside.
