Thousands of BT workers walk out in strike over pay
Thousands of workers at telecoms giant BT are walking out on Friday in the first of two strikes in a row over pay.
But BT has said it had "tried and tested processes for large-scale colleague absences" to minimise disruption. CWU general secretary Dave Ward said ahead of the strikes there would be "hundreds of picket lines" arranged across the UK on Friday. Several industries, such as the railways, have already seen strikes this summer and more are planned.On Thursday, BT revealed its first sales growth for five years as the telecoms firm benefited from price increases for customers earlier this year.
