Why don't we buy a share?

[shaunman]

I know this may sound stupid and impossable but why dont all royal mail staff buy a share in the company. It could be done by paying a contribution of say £20 a week each, with 160,000 staff that would be 3.2 million a week. Over a year that would be around 150 million. I dont know if this is the kind of investment required. It could be a 5 year plan.

I think it would be a positive move for many reasons and would give the staff and cwu the power to change things within the organisation.

1. We could look to make all employees full time (who wanted to)
2. Be more willing to be flexible
3. Gain a profit share of the company for life
4. Not have to work for a foreign company that are only interested in profit
5. People would be more positive about the company

If any one has any thoughts or if it has been suggested before let me know.

Get your drift ,but since we own it already, maybe we should just rewrite the rules

You are not allowed to even think that unless you earn at least £750,000 p.a. - or you are a right wing, private sector loving socialist sell-out. Now just be glad you have a job, you idle working class oik!

if you buy a share then its privatisation?

[shaunman]

Its getting part privatised, shares to be kept within rm employees.

[fmrPOSTIE]

I agree with LINKINPARK; NO TO ANY FORM OF PRIVATISATION. It'll be the start of a road towards full privatisation.

Good sensible idea,one that has worked well in other industries,like Excel logistics ,BUT,BUT,the HOOPER reoprt ,The goverement,most of RM workfore, according to posts on forums and comments made in person have serious concerns about the exsisting Senior Management to deliver a efficent postal service.
Peoples track record speak for themselves,take a look at the second highest paid Civil servant in the UK,LOOK AT HIS ACHEIVMENTS,since joining RM and before,you must agree it is some track record !.

Its not just money that the Goverement wants for RM but effective Management .
I would only invest in a company I FELT WAS RUN EFFICENTLY!!

Good to be back LP - slowly sliding myself back into the habit after my old PC died on it's a*se

I still prefer the SLR - better chance of a "one shot stop" with 7.62 than 5.56......don't believe me? Have a look round for military forums, I've seen one or two US Army forums that aren't too keen on the CAR-15, they like the M60 & M240 & all of them love the stopping power of the M2 ( "Ma Deuce" )
