CWU bosses said pay rise offer was ‘insulting’ and ‘relative pay cut’
BT has given 58,000 workers a £1,500 pay rise that it says is its biggest award in two decades, despite its biggest union rejecting the deal as soaring inflation fuels a cost of living crisis.
Last week BT had a £1,200 pay rise offer rejected by the Communications Workers Union (CWU), which represents about 40,000 of its 100,000 employees, with union bosses describing it as “insulting” and a “relative pay cut”.
