Also applies to normal retirement.

I took my VR agreed it Sept 2010 and left Nov 2010 and I have got sweet FA so far still fighting same as everyone else !! Although we should have got the sept valuation and been paid it 6 wks after leaving here I am 4 months later with nothing still and I KNOW atleast 1 person who left after me has been paid out so not happy isn't the word same as you lot on this thread I'm still waiting HR say no evaluation yet but if price comes as nothing we all get nothing including me !!

guy in our office left after you(medical retirement) and got a payout
This is a big issue as human resources deny all knowledge off this I have spoke to them 3 times today as someone in my office left 2 weeks after me and got £900 so how can they do that ? Surely they must honour other peoples shares also but as we all know RM will get out of it one way or another and pay us NOTHING !

If they are denying all knowledge. That is a good sign! Maybe their getting a little nervous about the ramifications of giving some, but not all a share in success-ful failure.

I think the CWU should have been a lot wiser to this "Scheme" a long-time ago. A good lawyer would have exposed the flaws and a good Union would have communicated the flaws to its members and secured a fairer deal.

The terms of the agreement should have been made clear from the start. Has anyone ever seen the terms or have a link to them or are they hidden away in a little red book where no conscerned postie could ever hope find them???

Flaws were obvious you dont need legal advice for that share value can go down as well as up. CWU were never privy to any info other than what is in the CS plan document we all had back in 2007 and which can be found on RM website as well. Ive still got my hard copy.

ColleagueShares
a real stake in the future of our business


Royal Mail Group faces a challenging future. Transforming the Company into really competitive and successful businesses (Royal Mail, Post Office Ltd and Parcelforce Worldwide) requires major commitment from everyone. As a mark of Royal Mail Group’s commitment, we launched the “ColleagueShare Plan” in May 2007. Through the course of the Plan, ColleagueShares worth a total of 20% of the estimated value of Company will be given out. This means that over the five-year life of the Plan, ColleagueShares and Stakeholder Dividends combined could be worth as much as £5,300*.

When the plan was launched in 2007 ColleagueShares were initially valued at £1, by 2008 the value of the Company has risen to £1.63 a 63% increase, and in May 2008 full time employees received an initial £800 stakeholder dividend payment for meeting targets across the business (pro-rata for part-timers and new joiners). The increase in value of ColleagueShares has been attributable to implementing the difficult decisions we have had to make, and through recognising the success of changes that are beginning to transform our businesses.

The brochure provides a full explanation of the plan and what it means.

* depending on when you joined the company will determine what number of ColleagueShares could be issued to you before the end of the plan in 2012. Part-time employees will receive pro-rata awards.

Well if the flaws where that obvious then surely the answer was to negotiate any CS payments to be made at the start of the deal?

What the CWU should have done was leave well alone. :roll:

It is only their desperation to have some of the monies incorporated into the rewards section of the BTA to help sell a poor agreement that has unfortunately backfired and left them with blood on their hands.
Otherwise they could have fought for the members money knowing they had not endorsed the scheme,nor played any part in it's failure.
Now unfortunately the members rightly or wrongly believe that the shares were part of the BT agreement negotiated by the union...and see their failure as being a joint responsibility.
A case of it seemed like a good idea at the time. :cuppa
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

I didnt say they shouldnt! The issue is how the Fud are they justifying a drop of £1400 in that period.
did they cock up that valuation or this one because one of them seems wrong
