Pay Gaps are growing across different strand groups and disability is no exception. Here, Jonathan Bellshaw, NEC Disability Lead for T&FS explains the growing differential and urges employers to do more to close the gap.

The CWU are fighting against @BTgroup’s awful decision to cut 100 jobs in the rural community of Alness.

Today Rhoda Grant secured commitment from the First Minister that the Scottish Government will engage with the campaign and support efforts to force BT to stop the cuts.

I'm so disappointed with BT, their treatment of their loyal staff is abysmal. This decision will rock the whole community.

We are extremely sad to hear the news today that Jane Loftus has passed away. She was a key figure in the CWU movement and a wonderful person who was loved by all those her life touched. Our thoughts are with all of her family and friends in this extremely difficult time.

Pleased to report that BT have now agreed to further talks on the below. We'll update our members with any further developments.
