Thousands of BT workers to strike for two days

Jan 29,2022 4:28 am

More Than 40,000 workers at telecoms giant BT are to take part in two 24-hour strikes in a row over pay, their union has announced.

The Communication Workers Union (CWU), which represents The Employees at BT, said that company bosses had " stuck Two Fingers up" to key workers.

The Strikes will take place on 29 July and 1 August.

Those striking are largely Openreach engineers and Call Centre workers.

When The Union voted to strike last month, BT said that it was disappointed and would " work to keep our customers and the country connected" if staff walked out.

The Company has offered employees a £1,500 per year pay increase, which The Union claims is effectively a pay cut considering rampant inflation.

CWU General Secretary Dave Ward said: " For the First Time since 1987, strike action will now commence at Bt Group . "

" This is not a case of an employer refusing to meet a union's demands - this is about an employer refusing to meet us whatsoever, " He Said . " The serious disruption this strike may cause is entirely down to Philip Jansen and his friends, who have chosen to stick Two Fingers up to their own workforce. "

The Union said The Strike action was likely to affect the roll-out of ultra-fast broadband, and could cause significant issues for those working from home.

" These are the same workers who kept the country connected during the pandemic. Without CWU members in Bt Group , there would have been no home-working revolution, and vital technical infrastructure may have malfunctioned or been broken when Our Country most needed it. "
