Is British telecom company heading for its biggest strike since 1987?

BT Group was on Thursday preparing to discover whether tens of thousands of its unionised workers will take part in the first national walkout from the company in more than three decades.

In a strained internal call last week, reported by Bloomberg, Jansen argued BT couldn’t afford to pay any more. Angry staff complained that Jansen’s remuneration jumped 32% to £3.5m as a result of share awards. BT is not alone in its tension with workers. Its biggest rivals, Liberty Global and Virgin Media O2, face complaints from the CWU, where staff got a 3% pay rise. On a May earnings call, Liberty CEO Mike Fries told investors the increases were “not nearly at inflation levels” two weeks after he received a package worth $62m. Members polled by the CWU consist of about 30,000 in BT’s Openreach infrastructure division, 10,000 in call centres, and about 1,500 in customer service at mobile unit EE.
