No decision is a Decision.
In the Soviet Union it was said "no answer is an answer".
I wonder if, next week, we will discover that no decision to set dates for the strike is the decision by Unite the Union._ There will be several consequences of this - one is that the new contract will not have been removed from the table._ Quite soon (next month?) there will be a pay differential between those on the new contract and those who are not._ The pay differential is a tiny amount - not likely to influence anyone - but there is some quite primitive sadness about being left out of a pay rise.
