Dear constituent,
Thank you for contacting me about the industrial dispute involving members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) and BT/Openreach.
It is my understanding that CWU members, including call centre workers and engineers have been taking part in strike action due to a dispute over pay.
BT and Openreach, as its wholly-owned subsidiary, are private sector employers and therefore this dispute a matter for them and CWU to resolve and not something the Government can involve itself in. It is my hope that this dispute can be resolved as quickly as possible.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact me
Sincerely,
