Were we ever given the option to refuse the free shares?

Just another way for these giant useless lumps at the top of the union to sit in meeting rooms and make themselves feel important. They will produce nothing of benefit for us. There will be tea and biscuits though.

Simple question. Did you?

No. I have never taken 1 share or 1 penny in dividends.
That is where our pay rise has gone. That is where our pension has gone.
300 of us out of 120 000.
That is when we were sold out. And you were all complicit in it because you only saw the pound signs. Kerching!

God does it make me laugh when I read about people on here going on about the greedy shareholders.
What they actually mean is they don't like greedier shareholders.
And it has been a rearguard action ever since.

You really talk some utter nonsense Clash . Were you born last night or are you using mummy's laptop. The government owned the 10% they gave us. If we had all turned it down they would have sold them and pocketed the proceeds into the treasury . Do you not understand ??.
Thankfully 119,700 were a lot smarter than a dimwit like yourself.

If every single Royal Mail employee had rejected the free shares it would not have made one iota of difference. Royal Mail would still have been privatised and we would still find ourselves in the position we are now. It was a political decision made by the government of the day. We had absolutely no say in it.

Correct = it would have made no difference but what a message for 120 000 workers to send.
We do not believe privatisation will be good for us and we do not believe it will be good for the public service we provide.
We will not take part in the charade that is the "free" share allocation.

Those were my principles.
What were the principles of those that accepted the shares?

Stuff yer principles i took the free money and blew it on a holiday for the family300 taking a daft stand that nobody would know about if you didn't tell us on here every chance you get
