Strike ?

Where are the strike dates?

Seriously no wonder Royal Mail are running amok now, they get threatened with strike dates and nothing materialises.

One presumes (or hopes to, at least) that the threat of strikes has had an impact imperceivable to those not in the talks, and the extension to said talks is the materialisation of which you speak

UPDATE: Talks with Royal Mail will resume tomorrow. We will keep you fully updated with any major developments. Thank you for your continued support.

Good chance this will be Royal Mail sitting them down and saying one last time here’s the deal, reject it and we’re into administration.

Doubtful. I think the threat of sending the company into administration trumps any threat of strikes.

Hence why calling for strikes was never a realistic prospect anyway. Both sides are just playing games now it would seem.

To which the CWU should say, once last time, you can't save the company by grinding our worforce into the dust, so change or die.

You would hope that would be the unions response. I’m not confident though. Ward looked weak and jittery in those video updates today. Neither outcome will be good for us at this stage anyway.

Sky News article just out.

"Sky News understands that should the union call new strike dates, the loss-making company's board would not seek a drastic response by declaring an insolvency, as has been reported, at least in the immediate future."

"A Communication Workers Union (CWU) source said talks at the conciliation service Acas were scheduled for Thursday but fresh walkouts could be called the following day should substantial progress not be achieved."

So all the bluff amounted to nothing.
