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 is a matter for them and CWU to resolve and not something the Government can involve itself in. I hope that this dispute can be resolved as quickly as possible.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact me.
