Under the agreement, BT workers, including those taking 999 calls, engineers and call centre workers, will get a pay rise of between 6% and 16% depending on their pay grade
Under the agreement workers will get a pay rise of between 6% and 16% depending on their pay grade.
From 1 April, pay is to permanently increase by £3,000, the union said, with a review taking place from 1 September 2023 to further negotiate pay, grading and structuring issues. BT said all those earning £50,000 or less would get a £1,500 pay rise from 1 January as part of their salary rather than a one-off payment. Combined with the £1,500 April increase, the total pay rise for the lowest paid workers will be more than 15% compared to the same time period last year, the former telecoms monopoly said.
Strike action was taken by some 40,000 BT workers in opposition to the company's offer of a flat-rate pay rise of £1,500 which the union had rejected and said was a real terms pay cut as struggling workers turned towards food banks.
