BT have shed 1/5th of their staff in a bid to get profitable and still have a massive pension deficit to deal with. It should be noted that while the bonuses at the top are a big headline maker they are performance related and 10s of thousands of BT staff received performance related bonuses.

A lot of employees aren't getting big payrises this year. Sadly the public sector and ex-public sector are, as ever, keen to go whine to the unions and go on strike.

No they aren't justified to go on strike. There are very few reasons to go on strike. If they think they're worth more money, perks, benefits and pension rewards than they are getting at BT they can go work elsewhere.
