Cwu saber rattling. Should all kick off by end of August.

[oiht] 29/6/2017 08:43

Now ex div.

[oiht] 23/6/2017 10:33

I'm retired so you're probably working for me then! It's a funny ol' world :-))

Yeah, I'm a parasitic capitalist worker living off the backs of my fellow workers. Power to the people man! :-)

[oiht] 23/6/2017 08:21

Still living off the backs of workers. Parasitic capitalist just like me.

What I invest in, I don't get for free and I run the risk of losing it all. Now, I'm all for directors buying in....but free shares in mammoth amounts and big bonus handouts.....nah!

[oiht] 22/6/2017 19:24

I take it you don't invest in shares then, because you do not want to make any money on the backs of the workers?

[europa79] 22/6/2017 15:34

I know employees also get free shares...but they do the work and the directors get multiples in free shares compared to the employees.

Moya Greene obviously not working hard enough at Royal Mail if she's able to take on another job at easyJet. Is she able to give both companies 100%?

Anyway, I doubt she cares ...nice to see Moya Greene being awarded another £439,882 worth of free RM shares.

[oiht] 20/6/2017 22:31

Well I think the staff are hardworking europa.

[muffinhead] 20/6/2017 18:42

employees also get free shares and other benefits

[europa79] 20/6/2017 14:24

Good to see the directors getting a nice share bonus on the back of the hard-working staff (NOT).

Pensions issues across every big UK company - initiated by Gordon Brown's 1997 tax raid, for those of us old enough to remember.

[muffinhead] 27/5/2017 15:21

Pension issue also at BT


"BT has signalled it could put up assets as collateral to give pensioners a safety net that could further reduce demand from trustees for bigger top-ups."

[oiht] 25/5/2017 22:19

I thought they carried sacks of letters?

[peppypants] 25/5/2017 20:24

Ps £1.5 million a year to £1.8 million .

[peppypants] 25/5/2017 20:23

Moyà 20% green . Not a bad pay rise whilst postmen & women carry the burden of austerity.

[encarter] 23/5/2017 16:52

You know it makes sense Moya.

They should offer employees more shares as a substitute for their pension loss and for the changes in terms and conditions. That way it doesnt cost the company and the workers are happy.

[encarter] 22/5/2017 13:45

They say that they will have to prop up the pension due to them cutting back the workforce over the last few years so that less employees are paying in to the scheme. But what about all the money they have saved on wages? Its just a massive con.

[poacher45] 22/5/2017 10:01

I think the Royal Mail workers care far more about their pension than a small dividend twice a year. If the Tories get in there will be trouble here.

[careful] 19/5/2017 11:54

A negative reaction after yesterdays results.
This seems to be a solid well run company.
I an happy to hold long term here.
Confident a sensible compromise can be reached over pension fund.

Hi,

Taking a long term view RMG look good value. I did think of adding yesterday but a very wide spread (over £1) at the opening and then the strong share price rise put me off. This morning I have added another 1,000 shares in my ISA.

Although I expect the RMG share price to remain volatile it does offer good long term value and good dividend growth potential.

Current dividend estimates are:

2018 23.8p
2019 24.9p
2020 25.0p

The long term investor will ride out any storms here and I will certainly look to add to my holding on any sharp pullbacks.

Meanwhile I look forward to receiving the final dividend on July 28th

Goldpig.
