(Alliance News) - BT Group PLC faces the threat of strike action after a union on Thursday rejected the telecommunications company's latest pay plan.
The Communication Workers Union said it rejected a pay increase from BT.
"We have no choice now but to immediately prepare for a statutory industrial action ballot," the CWU said in a statement on Twitter on Thursday.
Earlier on Thursday, BT said it would hand its UK frontline workers a GBP1,500 pay rise. It would have been its biggest pay increase in more than 20 years.
The rise would have been given to 58,000 workers including engineers, contact centre staff and retail staff.
