Ben Richardson, CEO at SulNOx, confident they can cost-effectively decarbonise commercial shipping. Watch the video here.
I believe sometime ago when there was talk of a takeover, one of the large investor institutions said they would not be prepares to sell under £4.
If they still insist on £4+, the Sphynx no doubt has the money, but does he have the b---s to bid that much?
Interesting weeks ahead.
If Finabir has been delisted and the company taken over by Wizz Financial are my Finabir shares worthless?
OK that makes sense, thanks for the reply
Excuse my ignorance , but could somebody please explain why, if the shares are worthless going forward, there are a number of Buys over the 500K mark.
Thank you Dave,I welcome the notice of the strike day, at least I will now know what day I will not receive any post, instead of all the days I have not received any, without knowing why!
At the beginning of December I was sent tickets for a football match to be played in January. They have never arrived, luckily I picked up duplicates at the ground on match day.
I am sure many have been in this situation. You are abroad, on a beach and someone comes along offering you something you would not mind buying but don't really care one way or another, but not at their price. They want, say, £20, you offer them £14. They say £18, you then say £12, they say £16, you say £11. They soon get the picture. They laugh and you always get it at the price you want.
Now say the union wants 10%, the company offers 4%, with 10 days to accept it, if not it drops to 3% with a further 10 days to accept....get the picture?
Basically the company knows what it is finally prepared to go to, and if it is not accepted they start to make other arrangements.
So what you are saying it is the management that are causing these delays and telling you what to shift first. But you seem to be missing the point, if you didn't strike for two days at a time the management wouldn't have to move the items, therefore no matter how you want to apportion the blame it is the strikes that's causing the problem in the first place and it is the posties causing it.
Blame management, blame the Board all you like, but ultimately it is Ward and his cronies who are ruining it for the public and turning that public against you.
If enough of you tell Ward where to go I am sure the Board will happily negotiate with some non militant members of the union and come to a mutually agreeable solution.
Ok thanks for clarifying the situation, as you say I have never worked for RM and appreciate your problems, but can you tell me how the increase in salary is going to solve the problem. RM wants to update the system, as well as offering an increase.
Ward will not accept the changes and wants a bigger increase in pay. Are you saying if there are no changes and you all get the increase you want, all will be well and first class post will be delivered within two days, no parcels will be lost and everyone will be happy?
I heard a postie the other day on tv saying they were heroes during the pandemic. Blimey you will all be asking for the VC next.
Everybody deserves a living wage and I wish you all the best in getting the best deal you can, but the problem you have is Ward only wants to bring the Company down, and doesn't give a toss about you guys. Right now I am more inclined to support the medical services who deserve as much as possible as they save lives and not just deliver the post. They are the real heroes.
OliGarch: I have never heard such a lot of rubbish in all my life. What planet are you on?
I received two letters on Thursday, the first in three weeks. Are you seriously saying that letters, Xmas cards, hospital appointments etc should have been sent out months ago? The last letters prior to Thursday were received at the end of November. If you strike for two days, no mail is collected or sorted for that period, so when you deem to go back to work you should only be two days behind, or do you decide not to deal with it and let it pile up. I don't know how your system works, but logic tells me you deal with the oldest stuff first and should be no more than the two days behind. If I am wrong then please correct me. In the meantime how much money have you lost through strike days?
Well done posties you've F....d the country, you've ruined many small businesses, you've ruined Xmas for all those who look forward to receiving presents and cards this time of year and no doubt you will have to explain to your other half and children why you could not afford decent presents this year, because of the money you have lost through your strikes.
Next year will be better, as you will be drawing your unemployment benefit.
But don't worry that P'''k Ward will still be getting his £100K plus, and enjoying Xmas safe in the knowledge he has F....d you and the country at the same time.
After next week nobody will give a toss whether or not they get post, as it is usually only bills that come in after Xmas.
I hope you are pleased with your selfish actions and the take over comes and those that voted to strike find themselves out of a job. Those decent posties that really wanted to work, you know who to blame!!
So that P...k Ward has asked for a vote of no confidence in ST. What a surprise he got it!!!
The company has made 'its final offer', let's hope it is. It is now time to turn the screw and show up Ward for what he is, a malicious bastard who only has one thing in mind, to bring down the company.
Now really let the company negotiate, for every week where the union calls a strike the pay offer will decrease by 1%, in order to mitigate future losses.
When are the posties going to stop and think that every day they strike they are losing money and Ward and his cronies still receive their fat salaries!!!
If you still want a job vote to accept the terms and even leave the union if not, see if Tesco will take you on to stack their shelves for Xmas, you may even get a discount on your Xmas meal.
Can you please clarify, if your weekly pay is based on the average of the 12 weeks prior to receiving the notice would that average be reduced due to the non payment for strike days.
If so the Union has helped the posties shoot themselves in the foot!!
As I have said before the union bosses are only in it for themselves. They don't care about their members, all they want to do is bring down companies and not do the job they were originally set up to do.
Let's sort this mess up once and for all. The company has said they are proceeding with the changes and any further strike action will mean no further talks.
The company should now take the following action:-
Proceed with the changes, as stated
Offer a final package with no negotiation
If strike action goes ahead no VRs accepted
Redundencies made within the legal timeframe and only the legal required payment made
Any postie not striking for at least three months from the nominated first strike day to receive a bonus. Yes this is blackmail.
It's up to you posties. You either want your job or you could be out of work and you and your families will suffer. Your choice!!
Let's put an end to the excessive power the unions think they have and let them do the job they were originally set up to do, which is to deal with true grievencies. At the present time all they are doing is hurting their members and the general public.
Well done posties, I said you were stupid following the union, you have lost money, the union will lose fees. One of these days you will wake up and realise unions don't care about their members. All they want is distruption and cause chaos. The share price is way down, shareholders will lose money if they sell now, but why would they? RM will survive in one form or another as buyers will return. It's time to get rid of your union leaders with their cushy jobs and big salaries.
I must admit to being a share holder and about 50% down on my investment, however you win some and lose sum, my decision. I also believe that everyone is entitled to a a fair wage and wish you luck in the negotiations, but let's look at the facts in the real world.
If I own my own company and my employees want an increase in salary, if I can afford it based on the comany's trading I will give it to them. If not they can decide to stay or leave on what I propose or leave, their choice. If they leave I will replace them.
Now if I am running a company on behalf of its share holders my priority has to be to my emplyers, those share holders.
If I allow such increases in salaries which will put that companyb in to a loss making situation, that will prove a dereliction of my duties.
If you do not get paid for ten days because you strike you will lose the equivalent of 3% of your income before you sart, which RMG will save.
Do not think the union is acting on your behalf. The top guys will still earn their £100K+ a year. You will get some form of rise I am sure, but not what the union is pushing for, and you will still be down for loss of earnings while on strike.
It's not extreme greed it's extreme stupiity. If someone earning £100K+ a year says I will get you a 10%+ a year rise from a company that will lose money they are not living in the real world. Go on strike, let redundentcies follow and be out of work.
Stop listening to those malicious union bosses who only want to feather their own nests and realise they are not acting in your interests but their own and stirring up trouble. Accept a reasonable increase now and come back for more when profits improve.
2.8 million just purchased.
Any ideas who the buyer might be?
