actully no agreement is in place they stopped so that talks could take place members are now been asked to vote if they except the agreement been offered with the result been on 27th november.
and as the offer is worse than what was offered the feeling is that they will vote no.
but i doubt they will stike again as many posties feel let down by a union what achived nothing but asked so much.

The disks were (allegedly ) send by internal post which is run by TNT.

However, part of the problem is that the press keep referring to the fact that they were not registered or recorded - these are both Royal Mail products so there fore they are sowing confusion in the publics minds possibly because some members of the press have no knowledge whatsoever of the real world (No doubt the thought police will be after me for saying that)
