After the Consultative Ballot, & investigating into the possibility of boycotting DSA, & finding it wasn't legally possible without being taken to court with an injunction, what has changed now, for them to be able to do it?

We are still covered by the USO so we will need to continue to deliver it
USO just means we have to deliver to every address not deliver DSA
The guarantee to deliver DSA mail is part of our USO

What is the difference on a strike which stops DSA mail being delivered which is a failure of the USO compared to industrial action short of strike which we boycott the DSA which is also a failure of the USO?

Could Royal Mail demand OFCOM to be deceased to allow it more freedom. As the shareholders might demand it.

forget the DSA and the USO, if those companies became unionised then what's the difference? there wouldn't be much competition left. they deserve what we get as they are doing the same job on less pay usually. if they was unionised then we would get the same T&Cs in the other carriers too and they wouldn't be competitive. if you cant beat them don't fight them let them join us. they have terrible T&CS.

THERE ARE ONLY COMPETITORS BECAUSE THIER T&CS ARE COMPETITIVE.
