More than 40,000 BT workers will go on strike on 29 July and 1 August, the Communication Workers Union (CWU) has said.
The announcement followed a strike ballot, in which 95.8% of Openreach engineers and 91.5% of BT staff who voted supported the walkout.
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. "The serious disruption this strike may cause is entirely down to [chief executive] Philip Jansen and his friends, who have chosen to stick two fingers up to their own workforce."He said BT staff had received a real-terms pay cut as a reward for working"under great difficulty" during the pandemic.More from Business
