You already have them - the payout is due in April once they have revalued them.

Recently, the Union had written to Royal Mail on a number of issues associated with the Colleagueshare Scheme. We have been told that Royal Mail are currently awaiting the outcome of an independent valuation of the scheme.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Come on then brothers and sisters hedge your bets before we know the final evaluation. What do you think the price will be per share? I'll take a stab at 70p per share :whistle

Do we have to sell them? cant we keep them and when royal mail is privatised see what we will get for our shares then? or are they calling them shares so that they can put a high value on them when they are giving them to us and telling us they are worth a lot and then buying them back when the value is low? Its like Del boy

RM shares ( when privatised ) will be "proper" shares ( ie they will have actual value in the real world - so if TNT buy 100% of shares, they can sell RM to DHL by any amount they like, be it 20%, 30%, 50%, whatever ) what we have are "phantom" shares, they exist in nothing more than an idea shared between RM, CWU & us....if you went to a stockbroker with tem, he'd laugh you out of his office ( and possibly charge you for the priviledge ) :wink:

Who already has them; every employee?
I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.
