Prices are rising at their fastest rate with UK inflation at a 40-year high of 9.1%.
This year BT gave staff a £1,500 per year pay rise but CWU said that with price rises at record highs "this is a dramatic real-terms pay cut". A BT Group spokesperson said the company had awarded its highest pay rise for frontline colleagues in more than 20 years - an average 5% increase and up to 8% for those on the lowest salaries.
"Above all, [the investments] are central to the success of this business - and its colleagues - now and in the future," they said.
They have just had a pay rise as my son has ffs.
They will forget which day it is and leave a card.
BT always ripping customers off!
Last year, BT posted profits of £1,300,000,000 paid out £700,000,000 to shareholders & gave their CEO a 32% pay rise. But the best they could offer BT workers was a real terms pay cut. No wonder CWUnews members at BT just voted overwhelmingly for strike action 🤔
