25% profits, what are they going to do next to make more savings for the next lot of results ?
Think they are pushing the workforce into a strike or to make unhappy people leave to be replaced by non contract workforce.
Work to rule is the only way to win and also stop these twats coming in early.

These twats that come in early are incompatant at there job so a work to rule would cripple them.

I come in at my designated start time and half the postmen are standing around and up to date , needless to say if someone asks me a question I get the "Get on with it you haven't got time to talk" crap from the DOM .
The early starters leave on delivery earlier and take their 40 mins of lapsing whilst I don't as don't have time
I work till my finish time whilst the people who come in early are working an extra say 40 mins so they have time to do 40 mins of lapsing :arrrghhh :arrrghhh :arrrghhh

25% profit ! - What 25% profit?

Moya Greene would be doing cartwheels down The Mall and all the way back to Canada if RM could report results like that.

Here is here google profile https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=moya+ ... m_7t0y-Xzo" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; but as we all know a profile does not make a person/human being more a corporate master in how to screw said people into her ideals for her own selfish ideals but what can you do for the good of yourself and the country! VOTE LABOUR

It wouldn't make more jobs at all. They want to reduce the workforce,not increase it,the only increase they are interested in are shareholder returns,which they are legally obliged to do. Therefore,they want us to become more efficient,by means of less people doing the same amount of work,or more work,which in theory would increase profits and therefore shareholder returns and round and round we go,until there are only two people and the office cat , "Colin",left and he can't do delivery,so there we are ,end result ,no jobs,no business,everyone's a winner. Not.
The only way to stop people coming in early is to lock them out until start time,that isn't going to happen either,because Colin needs feeding at 6 a.m.

Underpressure really. If anything they put those who do the job as it should be under more pressure. Dim why is person A ready and your not. Because person A was in 2 hours before me. There you go there is my loops I'm leaving.

During the Wapping dispute one of Murcdoch's legal team made the point that the best and cheapest way of sacking staff was when they were on strike.

Another Tory coup on unionists jobs.
