PRIVATISATION POLL 1

Post by TrueBlueTerrier »

One of the things being suggested with privatisation is that staff will be given some. This poll is to try and gauge the feelings of RMC members about them:

1 Choice per voter, but you can change your mind.

I see nobody has faith that RM will last the long turn :nervous I would take them if they where free but I'd have nothing to do with them (the wife on the other hand may have other ideas :wink: ).

why the hell would i want shares in a company that according to the powers that be, is going to experience a 10% year on year fall in mail volumes. or shares in a company that will be without its most profitable parts namely p/o and p/f and gls. they will be worthless :roll: :left:

When we are privatised (which to me is an abomination) why let speculators and bankers make a killing at our expense and at the expense of a public service?

Let's keep as many shares as possible out of their greedy hands.
