When the ballot result was announced, I think Dave Ward said that he wanted to give talks a little time.
He also said that he wouldn't be waiting forever and that if no progress is made quickly he would call strikes.
So, sort of expect them to be called end of this week or start of next. Just what I think, reading between the lines.

Do you fancy a decent wage agreement and working conditions or just time off to sit on your lazy arse ? Some people would fancy paying their mortgage or some heating bills. Sick of people coming on here and thinking it's all one big joke.

But you know he's not joking or being flippant.
Just letting the pressure release and standing firm.

It's " just another day off"

Am I right in saying any future strikes are just about pay? Everything else we were striking against is being pushed through, irreversibly I’m led to believe.

Only my opinion but since the ballot result there’s been no rhetoric etc. from high up in Royal Mail. Williams will throw Thompson under the bus at the commons select committee on Wednesday and a agreement will come soon after. Whether it’s a decent one we’ll have to decide but I doubt it.

Not so sure about that, this was the first paragraph from the LTB detailing the results of last weeks vote:
No. 040/23
16th February 2023
Dear Colleague,
2022/2023 dispute relating to International Distributions Services (previously Royal Mail Group) for all
CWU represented grades in Royal Mail Group (including Parcelforce and Fleet). Pay, unagreed change,
job security, disciplining CWU Reps, activists and members. Breaking and terminating various collective agreements and protections.

Please find attached a copy of the declaration of the result for the recent industrial action ballot of the
above CWU members employed by Royal Mail Group.
