make no profit!...insiders pay cut!...

[encarter] 31/8/2017 07:54

Posties want a better deal, management say they can't afford the existing deal. Pay them more, make no profit or they go on strike, make no profit. Which is the best option?

It is never CEO fault...always outside factors!...that is how the PLC casino markets are set up..

360 - 380p anybody?..

Heard she's off to easyjet

If the woman running RMG can't keep them in the FTSE 100 she should step aside. It's a clear sign that she's not up to the job of CEO.

next few weeks will be important.

Talks with the union have broken down .

my prediction

Strike ballot opens 14th sept. Closes 3rd oct. Then they have to give notice of a strike so its looking like a strike over christmas which will hit profits badly.

[encarter] 15/8/2017 16:50

Theyre stuck between a rock and a hard place. If they give in to the union then they wont make any profit but if they dont then a strike will destroy the business.

Shame royal mail didn't do the same

a great time to invest, after the crash of 08/09.
timing perfect.

[encarter] 28/7/2017 09:12

Yep. So it seems its all the trustees fault. Ive just gone to cash with a pension investment i made in 2010. It was 85% invested in shares and In 7 years its gone up 400% .

I don't think anybody has ever invested in gilts for the yield, one invests in gilts for the security.

[muffinhead] 27/7/2017 20:07

The size of pension investment required to generate £10k a year from gilts. You see the problem Cancun!

Now take your problem to the Bank of England and ask for the interest rate to be increased. All pensioners and savers in the UK will fall at your feet if you can pull that one off

If there's a strike the only thing the public will be kicking is the postman for not delivering their parcels.

'I don't believe the company should be punished for low investment returns from investing in bonds.' - but the employees should, right?

'I thought ADVFN was supposed to be about investment. This is a weird thread!!' - are we discussing anything other than Royal Mail and its prospects?

Royal Mail pension is in surplus, compare it to BT's £7bn deficit.




Royal Mail CEO has £200,000, roughly 20% paid into pension fund, latest offer is 11% to employees who have a scheme in surplus, never mind a massive defickt like BT.

Don't bank on CWU getting no public sympathy? Brexit and Trump prove people are angry and ready to kick back.
