Union tells BT: Commit to pay rise talks next week or else
"We have committed to talks with the company but only if they are willing to improve their offer, agree to no further imposition on pay and agree that it would be subject to a CWU consultative ballot of all affected members."
A branch forum of BT union reps will meet on the 13th to discuss possible dates of the"first Group wide strike action since 1987." It added:"In short, next week we will either enter into serious negotiations with the company or we will announce strike action. The ball is firmly in the company's court."
They also pointed out"we're in there middle of a once-in-a-generation investment program to upgrade the country's broadband and mobile networks." BT, it should be stated, is getting"Our job is to balance the competing demands of BT Group's stakeholders and that requires careful management, especially in a challenging economic environment," the BT spokesperson added.
"The cost-of-living crisis is having a profound impact on all companies; no one is immune. This will cause a domino effect and inevitably have a knock-on effect on all of BT's operations. This includes the rollout of fiber broadband which is set to be negatively impacted due to Brexit, attracting the right talent and the supply chain disruption."
