Enjoyed that shambles.

I aim to please

Enjoyed that shambles.

With my ability, to distort things so aptly.....

Which I believe is part of the criteria for a Managerial Role....

I Bet you wish I was Management, instead of a Royal Mule....

No Chance, I like the Grass on my side of the fence, it's had artificial BS added!

Remember this is a ipo flotation so it is unlikely there will be a majority shareholder more like a pension fund will hold maybe a maximum of 10% but this will take time. In 6 months time we will have had 6% in payrise which is better in our pockets than theirs.

There will be no majority shareholder?
YET.
It will take time, but some company/fund will target the shares and end up a majority shareholder.
There is just so much money they can make out of RM, they won't resist. Can't.

Your right unhappygremlin but I just hope it will take time.

well teebs, i noticed from you're op it says we're to be balloted on the 20th. and first available strike action to be october 10th. does this now mean that the 'delay to strike/ia ballot has now been lifted, and we are now going to stick to the original timescale.???

[Martin Walsh]

No it is likely we will extend the ballot by.a week at the end aa well !!

[daveyeff]

so we are to be balloted on the 27th sept ??

[Martin Walsh]

No the notice will be served 20th and extend from the 3rd October a further week to maximise the vote !

i thought the ballot on the 20th had been pulled, because as dave ward said, the union had received correspondence from rm, so the union lawyers were going through everything with 'a fine tooth comb' to make sure everything was in order,, thereby delaying the original date. it was on itv news as well.

No the notice which was to give 7 days notice to the employer in line with the trade union laws was pulled. The notice will be served on the 20th and the ballot papers will be dispatched on the 27th. The union will have to show Royal Mail what the question on the ballot paper is 3 days before the papers are dispatched.
