Our timetable had included an offer from the company going out to the vote by "the end of the week".
Wednesday's talks made good progress, but despite carrying on until well after 9pm, six issues remained unresolved. We now know the company position on three of them, but they tell us that they need the weekend to resolve all the rest.
Once we've seen the company's stance on these remaining issues, the negotiating team will need to assess whether the balance of the six points is good enough to recommend the deal to members.
In short, "the end of the week" appears to have slipped from Friday to Monday.
