they still have made a profit, thats good news,,,, but these greedy scum bags wanting profit more money,,,, always more money.. what is wrong with these people ?????

I agree they are greedy scum.
As they are 15 million down that will probably mean more budget cuts so more lapsing,bigger walks and more posties being cheated out of their overtime payments.

They won't be satisfied until they have flogged us all to death and are putting us in our graves

[Darren Bent]

if they can cut say 30% of management, I bet the profit will exceed half of billions.

well said, they are flogging the posties to death... these scum bags are not human beings if you ask me, they are brained washed for the love of money....

I really can't see why though... We still get s##t loads of parcels and mail coming in!

The plan seems to be to work the frontline (including DOMs) into the ground then replace with cheap labour from Europe. Profits will shoot up then, after all we are just overpaid and underworked

Hit the nail right on the head.... exactly what happened when tnt took over a load of motorcycle courier companies in the late 90's. Drove wages down and the only people who would do the job were foreigners!

Remember ,shareholders are the priority now, therefore profits have to be produced, at the expense of those at the sharp end. Expect more job losses.

It wont be long before the Main Investors lose faith with the RM hierarchy. All we get is "They are not playing fair and are pinching our business". In the real world of business its up to you to get it and then keep it; not leave it to the opposition to get it and then say they pinched our ball we want it back. Richard Branson didn't get to where he is today by keep moaning about the opposition; he went out and got it and because of his business acumen, steadfastness he got it, kept it, and is a role model of a modern business age. By the way I'm not his brother or father or mother.

Maybe its time to attack the DSA agreement and stop cherry picking by TNT.
