Protestors say that food banks had to be set up for BT workers who cannot afford to feed their families
A picket line outside a BT call centre in Lincoln has entered its second day of protest, as trade unions continue a pay dispute with communications bosses.
Over 400 picket lines have been set up across the country, with the vast majority of the CWU’s 40,000 members taking part in strike action, which began on Friday, July 29. The necessity of food banks for people working within BT is made to feel extra sour when considering the company’s announced profits of £1.3 billion last year.
A BT Group spokesperson said: “At the start of this year, we were in exhaustive discussions with the CWU that lasted for two months, trying hard to reach an agreement on pay. “We have tried and tested processes for large scale colleague absences to minimise any disruption for our customers and these were proved during the pandemic.”
