Also CWU said they are going to ballot today and NEU have said they will if they don't get an inflationary pay rise so could be fun times ahead for the Government, Raab came out this morning and said they can't let the RMT "win" as it will let others get ideas above their station
RM/CWU pay issues started back in Feb when RM failed to engage in payrise talks. RM later offered a conditional rise with ridiculous conditions and now ended with "Well, we tried but CWU won't budge, here's 2%". There is a separate dispute ongoing for conditions, which will come to a head later in the summer I think. I don't know about the BT/CWU details though.
The decision for CWU to ballot for industrial action against RM has nothing to do with the RMT situation at the moment, it's a result of months of heel dragging already. I'm sure the timing will be portrayed as copy-cat though.

I think working from home probably aids them as people are sympathetic and sympathy probably lasts longer when not being personally disrupted
