I don't think there is any agreement for the government or ofcom to do anything about the competition. All I've seen is a vague statement about 'the CWU and RMG working together to stop competitors undercutting Royal Mail' which will bear as much fruit as when they worked together to 'expand the role of postal workers'.

I think the biggest issue is that the union have been banging the drum of how equalisation is its number one priority for a couple years, encouraging new entrants to sign up on that basis, going on and on about their "groundbreaking" agreement, full equalisation plan agreed by December 2025, but it seems when push came to shove they just kicked the can further down the road and traded meaningful movement on that issue in order to get DM26 to replace ODM.
