What came before was "agreed to the company's offer to extend the validity of the industrial action ballot until the final permissible date, 3rd December 2013 - the last date that notice of strike action can be served".

That's not to say it rules out a token stoppage, to extend the validity in law. :whistle

Remember it an it a deal till we agree to it read the deal if there is one at this stage? I don't think we will get any kind of deal which I could recommend but if anyone has a copy I would like to see it but I do not think we will get one. I think the CWU will get took to the line and Royal Mail take it to the High Courts and will need a re ballot as such time has passed since the last ballot!

if they did call a strike chances are rm would get their injunction, because its been a while since the ballot was announced, and the membership count could have changed since then. i.e. members who have now left the job through being sacked/found other jobs/dropped out union, etc. i doubt they would have no difficulty at a court hearing. farcical once again.

I agree and i also think redundancies are inevitable within whatever contract they get, especially for non drivers . To be honest if they offered me a decent package i would seriously think about it
