Royal Mail would instantly move from technically bankrupt into a solvent relatively successful company.
Though of course with the pension issue resolved RM would be a more tempting business proposition for any interested party. :hmmmm
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Dave "HAYSTACKS" ward regretted eating the last course, and was forced to let one go, Much to "BIG DADDY" Billys disgust.

So, the goverment bails out the pension fund, then the Tories get in and sell Royal Mail off to TNT and / or DHL.

Effectively bunging foreign companies a wedge of UK taxpayers' money to persuade them to take it over :shock: :evil/mad

And in the meantime we are forced to accept a terrible deal to protect our pensions making us even more attractive to the likes of TNT.
It's just WIN WIN :cuppa
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

We could have an educated guess :chuckle
Autumn 2009 massive strike vote but not much clarity about the reasons for striking apart from general dissatisfaction with conditions and treatment in the workplace. RM launch sustained propaganda crap "this is a London thing" some say this had some success in weakening resolve.
Spring 2010 after 4 months rabbit ,"take a look at this guys, this is what RM want to do to you and worse, now will you just take it or fight for your jobs and wages?" Any questions about why you need to strike, anybody still think this is a London thing? :Very Happy
Bye

Rumours that "BIG DADDY" Billy couldn't wipe his own arse were being strongly denied by senior officials today.

I'm off now to lay down in a dark room with a damp towell over my head, after that i may just kill myself. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Think this might be one of the ammendments mentioned by dingo.

even with the pensions i'm still voting no. Pension schemes in deficit have the same legal satus as company creditors.....it's not optional if they pay, they do or RM go bust!
