Ball firmly in BT’s court as CWU smashes ballot thresholds and demands new talks
CWU members across BT Group have delivered an overwhelming message of disgust and defiance to their bosses, voting by well over nine-to-one to reject real-term pay cuts in every part of the business.
Onerous legal thresholds, designed to make it as hard as possible for workers to withdraw their labour under the UK’s notoriously anti-union employment law, weren’t just exceeded but positively smashed in Openreach and BT.
