Closed today result tomorrow though some have said the boycott vote is off. As to action if any it will be far to late.

For action to take place there needs to a ballot for a strike, or action short of a strike. The consultative ballot was a popularity poll and no official IA can be taken on the back of it.

I guess the results have provided a mandate for the CWU to proceed in that direction (IA) how long would the official process generally take?

IIRR usually about 28 days for the ballot - but then if its a Yes - they have to give a minimum of 7 days notice to RM of any action

I think it more likely that the CWU will try to use the results to get RM to make some concessions with regards to current issues and pay.
No that I think it will make a blind bit of difference. :sad:
