Original title: With the deepening of the British postal worker crisis, the candidates demand the Royal Mail to have public ownership
According to Reuters: After having 500 years of state ownership, the Royal Mail of the United Kingdom was sold to private hands by the Conservative Party/Liberal Union government in 2013. Although postal workers have experienced pay cuts during the coronavirus pandemic, postal company executives have been working remotely from abroad, but with high salaries. A well-known anti-privatization organization in the UK called for shareholders to have public ownership of Royal Mail on Sundays due to disputes over executive compensation.
Royal Mail CEO Rico Back (Rico Back) has been working outside his Swiss apartment, and postal staff have received a pay cut. We have our own director, Carter Hobbs, said: While our post office continues to provide incredible jobs in such difficult times, the CEO of Royal Mail continues to use his estimated salary of 2.3 million pounds. In the bag, this is really a scandal.
The German multimillionaire maintains his annual salary of £2.7 million, and employees of this formal state-owned organization have seen wage reductions in order to cut costs during the coronavirus pandemic. Hobbs said: The fact that the postman’s bonus is reduced instead of Rico Black’s salary once again shows the farce of Royal Mail's privatization. Rather than placing our service in the pockets of wealthy executives and directors, it should be said that it should work for all of us-workers and the public
We can only achieve this goal by putting the Royal Post Office in the hands of the public. In this way, we can reinvest funds into the service itself and transform it into a service that is truly suitable for the 21st century, with a high-paying workforce and an open network-postal banks all over the country. Chief Operating Officer Achim Dunnwald has also been working at his home in Germany during the period of social distancing restrictions imposed by the government. When the company first went public on the stock market, postal workers became shareholders of the company, which meant that the cut in dividends directly affected employees’ wages.
