Should we all individually reply to Mr Thompson's letter telling him what we think of him and his direction for RM or will the CWU Union send a reply letter on behalf of all of us.

Many thanks.

If even Royal Mail can't rely on Royal Mail to get items to their intended recipients on time then they must realise that their VVIP customers will already be taking a dim view of their current levels of service.

If they want to keep those customers then they had better come up with some realistic proposals to the CWU pronto, or else continuing strikes will make matters worse while heading towards what should be the most profitable time of the year for parcel companies (including those that also deliver letters).

I don't know what this Simon dude actually wants. What is the game he's playing.

Does he want the share price to crash for this new buyer to come in and get the business cheap?

or

Does he genuinely want to do a deal with the CWU?

10% pay rise + £2000 lump sum + all the changes - lets do it.

If all the changes lead to the job becoming unworkable - I'll leave, as will hundreds of others.

Cool video. Thanks.

Just needs to be stressed. £567 million spent last year in dividends and stock buy-backs.

This guy is completely ridiculous. Does he really think we are all that stupid. My letter arrived the same time as dividend statement. You couldn't make it up. Yes I know but they were given for saying goodbye to life as we knew it.
