Thousands of BT workers have voted to go
on strike in a dispute over pay. [Some 30,000 Openreach engineers and 9,000 BT call centre workers were balloted and overwhelmingly backed industrial action, the Communication Workers Union (CWU) said. General secretary Dave Ward said BT now faced its first national strike since it was privatised in the 1980s. BT said it was disappointed and would "work to keep our customers and the country connected" if staff walked out. Mr Ward said he expected BT to offer a "significantly improved" pay rise by next week or strike dates will be set. CWU said the potential strike action would have a serious effect on the roll-out of broadband and could cause big problems for those working from home.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62000848 |

My Dad worked for BT for 32 years, in the main office in Manchester. He went out on strike for ages....it took my folks years to recover from the financial mess it put them in (my mum worked for Royal Mail and they were intermittent striking whilst my dad was out too). At a time when everyone is feeling the pinch with cost of living rises, coming out on strike is a risky move for the Unions. Too long with no pay will soon lose support
