Future of Royal Mail

[HTPostman]

One of your first posts for 3 and a bit months, having previously gone 4 months without answering members - when you’d offered to answer any questions and then ignored them.

13 weeks of ignoring members pleas, gaslighting them.

And then you come here and once again post as if you are a mouthpiece for RM, rather than for the CWU members.

Martin - who do you work for? Is it Daniel Kretinsky with his net worth of £8 billion? Is it ‘Desperate’ Dan with his £65m mansion in London, his villa in Prague, £18.5m townhouse in Paris, £84m yacht, 2 private jets and part ownership of a private island in the Maldives?

Or is it the beleaguered, earning just above minimum wage, been asked to make changes and adapt for a few decades now, struggling to keep up with the cost of living postie?

I’m afraid it is not good enough. I’ll look out for your next return here in 3-4 months, or when it’s CWU election time and you need to sell yourself, whichever comes sooner.

Did I just hear right?Using pension surplus to quicken equalisation….jesus,” I prefer not to speak”

It should be up to Royal Mail to fund equalisation and not Royal Mail employees in the form of the pension surplus .

Same story for last 5 years.

The Pension Surplus is protected fully by Government and Trustees.

Remember the pension surplus would still there if everyone retired tomorrow and got their full pay out.

The pension trustees will decide when they believe it is safe and it is often at the point when they sell it onto an insurance company to administer.

We do not expect this is happen until 2028 at the earliest. When it does then the CWU will get a share of this to go into the employee benefit fund to use to benefit employees which include helping quicken any equalisation pathway or bring the pension age of the new scheme down from 67.

So Martin you decide to answer about the pension surplus, i think there's been plenty of other statements on your post which you are not prepared to make a reply.
Martin you have to be prepared to defend what you say and enter into debate, otherwise i would tend to believe you only believe in enforcement of what you believe and that would be tending towards dictatorship.
