Royal Mail workers ''would gain from shared employee benefits''

An organisation has highlighted share ownership schemes as the way forward should the Royal Mail become privatised.

Bosses at ifs ProShare have suggested that staff retention and productivity can be improved by introducing an employee benefits scheme whereby workers hold ten per cent of the company's shares.

The group has claimed that the idea continues to be overlooked because people have a lack of knowledge about such initiatives.

Head of employee share ownership at ifs ProShare Alexy Armitage referenced companies such as Sainsbury's, Marks & Spencer and BT as successful examples of how share ownership can be implemented.

"They are a very useful, simple and tax-efficient savings mechanism for employees of all income levels, delivering benefits not only for employees, but for employers and the wider economy too," she remarked.

Bosses at the postal workers' union are against the privatisation of the Royal Mail as they hold fears that workers will suffer through redundancies and a reduction in pension entitlement.

Im sure the shares scheme would be good in places where the productivity levels are approx 75% and where workers will increase to 90%
but in RM where they expect 130% at the moment what f*cking chance have we got when owners
of a privatised RM will want more & more. Im F*cked now without doing roughly double what
I do now

That explains it then - when it was government owned they weren't worried about the pension or redundancies - so what's the difference..............union dogma as opposed to Tory dogma?
