I have no doubt we've been shafted, but let's find out the facts before we get too worked up...
Agree mate, the guys could have done us proud, lets wait and see the facts before we all go nuts, calm down have a can or 2 and lets wait for the agreement to be annouced.

Sky news saying that there is to be a lull in industrial action while they sort the deal out...

Doesn't sound like a deal at all to me, more like exactly what that leaked document said RM wanted !!

Look its nothing like 2007 this is an interim agreement which allows for local discussions on impostion overseen by an independent party aproved by acas. It alllows for negotations on all the big issues which incudes pay , shorter working week , d2d , spans , mail centres network and job sercurity. We still have both the national and the local ballots in place. Progress will be reviewed every 2 weeks and the deal should be completed by December.

It is an interim deal but it is Royal Mail who have blinked. We have to now see whether what they agree on paper they will carry out in deeds. But if they dont we can still take action . In no way has the union agreed to allowing Royal Mail to string us along past Christmas. If they are not serious then action will be taken by late November.

Now the agreement will be published at Mid-day tomorrow. I suggust people wait until they see the words before being negative.

Simple questions:

1) Why have we just striked?

2) Why are the strikes now off - there is no agreement in the dispute?

Unless the CWU answer some pretty straightforward questions, you can bet membership will be dropping by the tens of thousands pretty damn soon.

Latest post strike 'called off'
Postbox
The planned strikes would have been the third round of nationwide walkouts

The postal strikes planned for Friday and Monday have been reportedly called off.

However, it is unlikely that an agreement has been reached to resolve the wider dispute over job cuts, pay and working conditions.

The planned strikes would have been the third round of nationwide walkouts by members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU).

Statements from the CWU and Royal Mail are expected shortly.
