I would imagine the main reason for cancelling would be the fact that it's obviously the emptiest threat since empty threats were invented.

a) who would notice?
b) only about a third of managers are in the union.
c) it's not even a union.
d) can you see a line manager manning a picket line?
d) who.would notice?, I know but f**k sake really?

CWU will come to us with a crappy deal of around 1.5 percent and a lump sum, and say it's a ground breaking deal, and tell us to accept it..
All the sheep will fall into line and take it..then the managers will get around 3% and a bonus payment of around £2000
