Do you really expect a privatised service to offer better pay and conditions?

Of course it has something to do with the strikes. In the last few months Royal Mail has become completely unreliable as a result of these actions. Businesses cannot trust the Royal Mail and are going to have increasing problems as a result.
They are holding ordinary people and businesses to ransom to settle their dispute with management. The Union has recently said they don't think the backlog of mail will ever get delivered, and then protested the Royal Mail were employing non-postal workers to help shift though it. People have important documents in the mail. I know of one person still waiting for their degree certificate and another for their passport. The Union not only wants their workers not to sort out this backlog but also to prevent anyone from doing so.
Ultimately though they are a business and the employees are encouraging their own downfall. They are making the service unreliable and thus forcing businesses such as Amazon, of of their biggest clients, to their rivals.
