That's understandable after a lengthy period of striking I agree.
This hasn't been a really lengthy period of strikes.

They've settled for next to nothing as a serious increase.
I don't see the point of taking any action, if all they've settled for is a paltry bribe and tiniest of change on pay with no real firm commitment of conditions either.

When the cold light of day hits them as to how weak and next to nothing this deal is.
Then they've had it anyway as they've made themselves look like pushovers.

Good luck to them, however the RCN appears to have seen through this deal as to its weakness.
