The strike is the first of four planned dates this year
Tens of thousands of BT and OpenReach staff will take part in a strike today in the first of four planned walkouts this month.
The strike is the latest in a line of walk outs which began in the summer following a company wide ballot at BT group in June. The main hope for the union is that such an overwhelming demonstration of workforce anger will persuade management back to the negotiating table. “Time and time again, we have asked for negotiations to resolve what may well be a dangerous dispute for many, only to be ignored by a senior management that could not be less interested in addressing the anger that exists in their workplaces.
