RM expecting 'significant' loss of revenue from strikes

[Red Robbo]

All this hype about the industrial action and the loss of revenue but RM still look to a dividend in July next year from the sale.

Have they not guaranteed the dividend?
Given it a minimum value?

I think the Government need the money to fund the right to buy scheme on 1st time buyers

I can't believe anybody really thinks that reduced profitability and thus a falling share price is good for anybody (except our competitors) and particularly anybody working for the business.

Perhaps the business should re-examine its employee engagement strategy?
It obviously isn't working despite the ludicrous amount of money being superficially thrown at it.

Not lying to us would be a start.
We obviously don't believe them, must be due to past experience......

I do wonder how much all the propaganda they've sent has cost?
It would have been better to spend that money on the pay offer.

. but profit alone is not workable for most businesses.

I've done economics and that has totally lost me, maybe you could explain why profits aren't needed because I'm going to my bank to tell them that I'm not making any money because it's not important.

Did you read my whole post or just the bit you chose to quote? If it's the latter then I can understand why you struggled because out of context it's meaningless. If you don't understand the whole thing then you should dig out your economics notes.

To reiterate, most companies cannot rely on profits alone to support an investment strategy and need other sources of funds too. At no point do I say that profits aren't needed.

Why do we need all this private money if we are making all that profit?

Which is exactly the point.
We still haven't been told the real reason for the sale.

The Government has to pay the deposits for the 1st time buyers so they can get on the housing ladder,please remember what they have done to us over this,when the general election comes

It is not the pay offer WOULD IT HAVE BEEN BETTER TO TREAT US ALL WITH THE RESPECT WE ALL DESERVE IN THE FIRST PLACE!
