Will the union be buying shares as an investment?
A straight forward and honest answer would be nice.

Why don't all TUC unions invest all their cash reserves in Royal Mail shares? Then the business would be owned by the unions :nana

And how would I do that will not see them for three years and If I do before five years will pay tax on them. It's all a bit colleague shares to me maybe you could donate your London weighting allowance for me instead.

Your union seems like they are in charge and that's a bad thing? :left:

In the accounts and to be honest if all liabilities and assets are added together you've probably got more down the back of your sofa.
Anyway what kind of union invests directly in the feckin stock market? :cuppa
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

nice answer but this could be one of the reasons our union is siting on the fence they should
have sorted this out 3 years ago when managment was at breaking point yet we was told to agree to
an agreement that has ruined many offices in the last three years.as i have said already if this vote is to close
then union headquaters should take a good look at themseleves.we have all been stiched up.

While I am sorry for the quip the reason the union collapsed last time was the NEW LABOUR government in Gordon Browns words "I want these people back to work now" do you think our union will listen to clegg or Cameron.
