No idea, but Royal Mail was owned the people (state owned) until about 2011 when the tories flogged it off. They then quietly disposed of yours and my remaining 30% in 2015. Instead of a company to serve the people (a public service), it exists to serve the shareholders so 10k people on the dole? Bring it on. The people who matter (shareholders) will be pleased. They even have the ready made excuse of industrial action to hide behind.
Are we the people better off from this? I don’t think so. Royal Mail is finished, sadly. Given rising competition, email etc was there a future for Royal Mail? Yes. It needed to evolve its business and change? Of course. It needed investment, not dismantling. But it was possible and there were plenty of objections to the sell off years before the tories achieved their aim on this. [Post edited 14 Oct 2022 12:06]

The shareholders will put pressure on the board and senior management to either do their jobs better or be sacked before they destroy more value.
The statement is a naive admission of management failure. |  | | |

I'm a shareholder, having bought the minimum offer when it came out, and I am not pleased - quite the opposite in fact ,
Wasn't asked for my view. would have awarded the pay rise if I had been. Ardent supporter of RM & their continuation - living out in the sticks, they & DPD are the only really reliable carriers we have. |  |

I was always a supporter of Royal Mail. I still am. I gather they offered the staff a derisory 2%. Unions wanted more and rightly so with inflation running to 10% and beyond. If the workforce had meekly accepted 2% does anybody really think the company would have held back on 10,000 redundancies? I think not. | | | |

I'd have awarded them what the MPs awarded themselves the last few times they did that. All NHS staff too. | |
