PAY RISE FOR 2009 ???

Post by Carnoustie »

At a boring WTLL session, someone broached the subject of this year's pay negotiations.

Have the CWU put in a pay claim ?

Have Royal Mail tabled an offer yet ?

My mate says

"Royal Mail are waiting for the inflation rate to shrink from 0.9% down to zero. Then they'll triumphantly announce an inflation-matching pay increase of ... NIL. NADA. ZILCH. aka F_CK ALL " :left:

nah they will wait for deflation to kick in, then they will dock our wages retrospectively :evil/mad

Then once thats been settled, massive inflation will kick in once the effects of printing money in USA and here emerge.... and we will feel even more shafted.

me ? invested in gold/silver mining shares....

It may be best to invest in an AK47 because whenever the country goes into full meltdown it'll be your only friend. :shock:

That sounds like the attitude of American gold bugs when they are discussing the possible confiscation of gold bullion from individuals - " If they come for my gold, they'll get my lead " :hmmmm but thats a whole separate topic in itself.
