BT pay deal averts strike action
BT and the Communication Workers Union (CWU) have sealed a deal on pay, heading off strike action.
Under the agreement BT workers receive a 9.3 per cent pay rise over 39 months.
BT had previously offered a 5.1 per cent rise over 21 months.
The company described the deal as “unprecedented” while the union said it was “fantastic” for its members.
“This agreement is good for BT, its employees, shareholders and customers,” BT chief executive Ian Livingston said in a statement.
