we are not just managers
Connect represents managers & professionals, ie real techies who get their hands dirty. Not only has BT stuffed them on pay, but continually threaten them with jobs cuts, as 10,000's of jobs go off shore - there are 1000's on on shore sub contractors as well - It's not the members of Connect or the CWU that BT to the position it has, low morale, poor customer service, it is those fat cats that over the last few years have wasted billions the tie up with MCI, 22 billion on a 3 g licences & gave it away to O2, leaving BT will billions of debt. No wonder Telephonica can afford to give the Connect members in)2 a decent pay rise.
Many, many BT people have give 30 years plus service to BT & it's customer, unlike the Jonny come lately fat cats who come & go. We have had enough it is time to fight
Biting the hand that feeds IT
