BT braced for half of workers to go on strike

BT is planning for a walkout by more than half of its staff, with the results of a strike ballot of members of the Communication Workers' Union expected early this afternoon.

Union insiders said they were quietly confident of a yes vote. If the more than 50,000 CWU members within BT do vote for industrial action, officials must give BT seven days' notice, meaning workers could strike from 12 July.
