Great Post T2M. So in summery , what your saying is that the staff levels and efficiency is really poorly managed and what is a million pound loss in the quieter periods will most certainly reverse in our far busier periods ?

Hahaha are you serious? Have you even read this board over the last 3 years?

Cool story mate , good one . Jeesus

You sound more and more like redstripe with every post. " look back at one of my thousands of posts........" "I don't care what people think..... " JB you're the best , should we be lse friends? ...." get a grip man.

Well when you had one of your little tantrums at me anger you said you wernt that heavily invested in RM so enjoy spending your £100 divis you divi.

I thought you were going to have a conversation with a wall about 10 posts ago redceo err i mean Anger.

I fail to see how any decent , self respecting human being , shareholder or not could condone such a devisive and provocative action by royal mail. This will only strengthen the picket lines. RTS ST has to go.

You actually have a job ?? You're on here more than redstripe whining about the cwu. What do you actually do ?

Bye then ;)

See what I mean Barney . Case in point lol

You're waisting your breathe unfortunately Barney. He's been told many times by a few different people that royal mail has form for massaging the figures when it suits them but for some reason he can't believe the same thing is going on now, he just won't listen. Then he will get angry and resort to either personal insults or just shutting down the argument. Even though he cries when you confront him and accuses you of personally attacking him even though you didn't. He does seem to get angrier and more anti cwu the lower the share price gets so its little wonder he's a bit tetchy at the moment so you have no hope of convincing him of anything other than his own thoughts. GLA

Pretty sure he said he owned a business not ran one. Another case of you reading something and changing it to suit your own narrative.

The CWU still want an in line with inflation pay rise, so 10%.
Again!!!, this is cwu going in high as with any negotiation. They obviously want more than 2% but I don't think even they think they would get anywhere near 10%. old news

The CWU wants the working hours of its members reduced.
Already agreed long ago . Old news

The CWU want those aged 55 and over to be given ‘light duties'
Never heard this before and as the majority of hgv drivers are over this age I don't see how that would work. Strange news

The CWU want Royal Mail to launch a TV campaign to promote letter writing.
I have heard this before but I'm sure it was just a throw away comment in an interview as just one of many ideas for future growth of the business . Old news

Cretin? Now who's getting personal ?
Calm down mate !!

Phunt73 - So rather than have a civil conversation about the negotiations, resort to personal attacks and avoid the questions? Sounds reasonable.
AS , when did I personally attack you??
I have no idea what the changes were , but I don't have to . My union reps tell me they are unworkable and I have nonreason to doubt what they tell me , I pay them to work in my best interest and in the 27 years I've been a member I've always been happy with what they have got me.
Just because you used to be in a union doesn't mean you wouldn't be anti union now you're a shareholder, in fact it's more Likely that you would be as unions and shareholders go together like toasters and forks.
"Yes, me and Simon Thompson are one and the same (lol). I don’t even know how to respond to that lol, so I won’t."

Of corse you won't because that's your m.o. when you can't argue with the truth you shut it down , you did the very same thing in the last debate we had remember .

So if you don't work for rm and you have no idea what the proposals are how can you so confidently say they are a fabricated myth??? I'll tell you why , because the cwu said it. And it's very clear that the majority of your posts are anti-union, but of corse you are because you're a shareholder. Your only interest here is to make money and the cwu is hampering that. You and ST are one in the same.

The 5.5% that would never be paid because it was dependant on target's that are impossible to achieve? That 5.5%?

Oh , and as an aside, as an employee and shareholder I would happily accept a no strings attached rise of 5-6% , as I think a lot would. I just hope that the cwu put it to a vote if that sort of figure is offered and not let us decide like the rail unions have done.

AS , every time someone says that 2% is not enough you constantly come back with how can a company that is losing money afford to pay more. Now I don't pretend to know how all the finances are figured out or reported but trust me when I say that isn't the first time that royal mail has published doom and gloom figures when it suits them , only to miraculously find some cash down the side of the sofa when they come out of the other side . Also , I always say we'll they shouldn't have payed themselves or shareholders as much if things were so bad. So I'm just asking that you maybe try and look at things from a different angle and maybe things aren't quite as bad as the RM rhetoric is suggesting. I think it was wolves that explained to you that the 1m loss a month is worded to make it sound worse that it is. Something to do with the time of year and comparing it to last year's figures that were unusually high due to covid. Honestly not having a pop , just my opinion.

Ballot Result. Turnout 72.2 yes 98.7
