The Communications Workers Union<\/a> (CWU) has today announced that up to 38,000 of BT<\/a> and Openreach<\/a>\u2019s unionised workers, as part of their ongoing pay dispute with the telecoms and broadband provider, will go on a second major national strike this month – this time occurring on Tuesday 30th and Wednesday 31st August.<\/p>\n

As we reported last month, the CWU’s core issue stems from a dispute over pay. BT<\/a> previously announced that they planned to award workers a \u00a31,500 consolidated pay increase to their annual salaries (up from an original offer of \u00a31,200). The operator said this would be the \u201clargest [pay rise] \u2026 in over 20-years<\/em>\u201d for 58,000 of their UK frontline and Team Member colleagues \u2013 representing an increase of up to 8% for some colleagues and more than 3% for even the highest paid frontline workers.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The strike only includes workers from BT<\/a> and Openreach<\/a>, while EE<\/a>\u2019s c. 2,000 workers fell short of the government\u2019s ballot threshold by just 8 votes.<\/div>\n

However, the Deputy General Secretary (Telecoms and Financial Services) of the CWU, Andy Kerr<\/strong>, who had previously called for a pay rise of 10% to recognise the \u201ccontribution our members have made to the business<\/em>\u201d, rejected the offer and warned that, given the surging level of inflation, it would have represented a \u201crelative pay cut<\/em>\u201c. Kerr also noted that BT’s CEO had awarded himself a 32% pay increase.<\/p>\n

The lack of an agreement resulted in tens of thousands of BT and Openreach<\/a>’s unionised workers going on the operator’s first national two-day strike since 1987, which was held on Friday 29th July and Monday 1st August. But this only appears to have had a fairly limited impact upon the national telecoms giant (here<\/a>) and has not succeeded in bringing BT back to the table. Hence.. round two.<\/p>\n

In a brief Twitter post, the CWU said: “We have today served notice on BT Group and Openreach for further strike action on Tuesday 30th and Wednesday 31st August #FoodBankPhil<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

A BT Group spokesperson said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We know that our colleagues are dealing with the impacts of high inflation and, although we\u2019re disappointed, we respect their decision to strike. We have made the best pay award we could and we are in constant discussions with the CWU to find a way forward from here. In the meantime, we will continue to work to minimise any disruption and keep our customers and the country connected”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Once again, BT remains adamant that they have the necessary processes in place for tackling large-scale colleague absences, which they said will \u201cminimise any disruption for our customers<\/em>\u201d and \u201ckeep the country connected<\/em>\u201c. On the side of Openreach, we mostly only saw fairly small and manageable delays to some repair and provision work, and the same is expected this time around.<\/p>\n

However, unresolved pay disputes have a tendency to be followed by even more strikes, which could conceivably become longer and more disruptive in the future. Delays to provisions of up to a week can be managed, but such issues would become much more costly if key jobs start being hit by even longer delays (e.g. a month or longer).<\/p>\n

Openreach tends to escape the risk of heavy compensation payments to clients by declaring Matter Beyond Our Reasonable Control<\/strong> (MBORC) during such events, but ISPs and rival network operators will only put up with that for so long.<\/p>\n

As for BT, they’re no doubt still concerned about future economic hits stemming from the precedent of agreeing to such a pay increase, not to mention the fact that inflation could still fall back to 2% in the not-too-distant future. Lest we forget the knock-on impact for the UK economy as the threat of a wage-price spiral grows (i.e. a vicious circle that could make inflation worse and keep it high for longer).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
