BT Pay
Dear Member,
We have been in dialogue
with the company, as much as we have been able in these difficult times, to
discuss your pay award which is due on 1st April 2020. You will no doubt
have received the communications from BT advising of the offer they are
making.
The CWU are disappointed
with this offer, we believe you are worth more! You are the invisible
group of key workers who have shown your unrivalled commitment to your work
by being courageous and flexible to keep businesses and families connected,
ensuring the population stay safe in their homes during these unprecedented
times.
That said, whilst many
workers across the country face losing their jobs, we welcome BT’s
commitment to your job security, that is paramount. We also accept
that BT may well have some significant financial challenges ahead and
future reduction in revenue due to the fall-out of the Covid
19 pandemic ; however we believe that now is the
time for BT to recognise your commitment by ensuring financial
priority is given to front-line workers above any other financial
commitments.
We are seeking an urgent
meeting with the company to discuss their offer.
Further details will be
reported in due course. Should you have any comments please email: btpay@cwu.org
Yours sincerely
Andy Kerr
Deputy General Secretary
