COMMUNICATIONS workers at BT voted overwhelmingly in favour of a 33-month pay agreement, their union confirmed yesterday.
The deal will see BT workers get a 2 per cent increase to base pay as well as a flat-rate increase of £200 from April 1 2014 which will be fully consolidated and pensionable.
This will give members an increase between 2.5 per cent and 3.2 per cent depending on their grade.
The deal followed five-months of negotiations with BT and was accepted by 72 per cent of those balloted on a turnout of 66 per cent.
CWU deputy general secretary Andy Kerr said: “We are pleased with today’s ballot results which show BT workers overwhelmingly endorse the excellent pay deal we have negotiated.
“Three quarters of the workers who voted are in favour of the pay deal.
He added that it was right that employees who had made a major contribution to BT’s recent financial success reaped the rewards for their hard-work and commitment.
