BT Pay 2007 - New Offer: 4% - REJECTED

27 March 2007

BT has improved its pay offer to an increase of 4% consolidated on base pay with effect from 1 April 2007. The offer flows through to those allowances linked to pay, including London Weighting.

The CWU acknowledged the move by BT but rejected the offer as it still does not meet the requirements to ensure there is no cut in your pay in real terms.

BT made clear that while there are further urgent discussions to take place on the remaining differences between the negotiators, unconsolidated pay remains an important part of those discussions.

The CWU reiterated that unconsolidated pay has no place in any pay settlement and that our members deserve a consolidated pay settlement that does not cut pay in real terms.

Commenting on the latest position, CWU lead negotiator Jeannie Drake said:

"We are nearing the end of the negotiation process and there is still a very significant difference between negotiators. While BT has moved, we are still facing a potentially serious dispute situation."
