Crap Deal
I stood on a picket with a CWU placard saying "10% nothing less." They promised any deal would be backdated. Bills are rising by a percentage, not a flat rate. If this is the best they could do, why did the CEO get 32%, plus a handy windfall when his actions tanked the share price of about £1.5 mill? Union sold BT and Openreach this " deal" hiding the fact thos was not a resolution of 2022s pay deal, but 2023s deal brought forward a few months. Many decent engineers have already left for the Altnets for about a 25% payrise, but less job security. Always felt the job security, other benefits (I start and finish late to do the school run, above average holiday entitlement....) and job satisfaction was a decent trade off, not so sure now
