Omg what a load of tripe being spouted off. Yes there will be industrial action, no staff will not be laid off in fact Openreach are taking on another 1500 staff for 2018/19. Oh and no when staff from other parts of the business are laid off the max available will be 1x salary with possibly more via negotiation with HR, now that’s fact. Goodnight...

[charles clore] 11/1/2018 11:30

On early release terms 3x salary yeahhh!!

If there is no good news on pensions next week then expect 10's of thousands on BT employees to be laid off during the coming years .

[pacemaker1000] 10/1/2018 17:54

Not expecting any good news next week on pensions. Don’t know when the rpi to cpi is coming though. The consultation ends on the 17th but that’s it. No way it will be excepted and fears of industrial action could push the share price down

Showing strength on a bad day for Telecoms across Europe! I would not want to be short and caught on this stock! the tide is turning I think and the end of pension review next week should be positive.

[montyhedge] 10/1/2018 15:59

No.1 for sure, this will struggle to get by 275p, rather be short than long.

[diku] 10/1/2018 07:45

Only if monty no; 1 says so...

monty... you still no;1 or no;2?..

[eisler] 09/1/2018 14:35

That's positive - could be the boost we need for a leg-up to 300

[toon1966] 09/1/2018 08:03

Just to clarify we are still waiting on the Courts ruling on the Section C Pension change from RPI to CPI.

[winner31] 08/1/2018 22:56

British Telecom (BT) have accepted a pay and pensions offer which will see them move from the company’s defined benefit (DB) scheme to its defined contribution (DC) plan.












Trade union Prospect, which represents managers and other professionals working on the telecom company, balloted its members on an offer negotiated at the end of last year.

BT manages two pension schemes: the British Telecom Pension Scheme (BTPS), a final salary scheme with more than 300,000 members and assets of more than £40bn, and the British Telecom Retirement Saving Scheme (BTRSS), a DC plan that has been in place since 2001.

Although the BTPS closed to new entrants in 2001, existing members continue to build up benefits and by some measures it is the largest private sector pension scheme in the UK.

A 60-day consultation on the proposed changes, which included closing the DB scheme to future accrual from April this year for around 11,000 managers employed pre-2001 and moving them into the BTRSS, was launched last November.

This proposal included an increase in pay by between 1 and 2 per cent depending on performance rating and position in pay range; extra transitional payments for members who are being moved out of BTPS to BTRSS, and an increase in employer contributions for existing BTRSS members.

[edwardt] 08/1/2018 15:57

db to dc scheme proposal accepted.

[winner31] 08/1/2018 15:01
