RMCtv : Simon ' Back to the future' Thompson : Regardless-there will be no back pay

[POSTMAN]

Simon Says

we cannot afford it - the cost of back dating the pay - has been spent on the impacts of - industrial action (£100m to end October) - we are reviewing the impact of the December IA days very soon…..

[Ali831]

And how much salary has been saved not paying striking posties?

[pinstripe]

And how much salary has been saved not paying striking posties?

Say about £80 a day x 96,000 striking posties. £7.5 million per strike day x 18 strike days = £135 million. (Back of a fag packet calculations, but gives a good indication)

But then they lose £1.2m each day down the back of the sofa! Was £1m before the strikes and after the dividend payout so the strikes mustn’t be costing them that much. Some dodgy accounting going on to say the least.

[Clappedoutpostie]

Announce some more strike dates please CWU.

[ICEMAN81]

The 28th and 29th would be nice

Dave is right Thompson doesn't want to end IA he wants to end Royal Mail as we know it.

[Chitchat]

No money for us,

but big bonuses for managers, massive bonuses for CEO, massive payments for share holders. Money for 11000 agency workers, money for managers to get proper VR, money for excessive hire vans.

History will judge Simon Thompson as the man who destroyed a 500 year old company. I know other board members are backing him but he’s the CEO so will take all the blame

[mjd24]

Just leave ASAP please Simon. Take your millions and just leave us alone now.

You may very well be replaced by someone with a similar remit but i cant imagine anyone could bring about as my toxicity as you have managed in your short time with Royal Mail.

All this cant be making you happy, surely? Go and do some volunteer work maybe chap.

£80??? £246 gross this week for 2 days of IA, fortunately, I can afford that.

I have, it is the long wait now for the checks to be done, could still be here at the end of January god forbid.

Thing is simon nothing gets sorted on social media.
Agree to talks
Start by taking all you want of the table
and talk attend everyday and reach a common ground
a deal could be done very soon dependent on the T/C amendments
we all agree some change will be needed but telling us dictating to us is not the way!
