BT is facing a walkout by more than half of its staff after delegates at the Communication Workers Union annual conference voted unanimously this afternoon to ballot members about launching the first national strike to hit the company since 1987.

The union, which has rejected an offer of a 2% pay rise and is pushing for 5%, has set management a deadline of midday on 4 June to come up with a revised pay deal or it will vote on industrial action.

The news came as it emerged that BT's chief executive, Ian Livingston, saw his bonus more than triple last year, taking his total pay package, including shares, to more than £3m.

so what do you think do they have a good reason to strike or should they accept 2% ??
