BT Ireland workers to stage protest at company headquarters

Workers at BT Ireland are to stage a protest, organised by the Communications Workers Union, in Dublin today to highlight what they say is discrimination against the company's workforce.

Staff claim management are refusing to treat employees in Ireland and the North equally, despite operating its business on a 32-county basis.

Workers say BT has resisted all attempts by staff operating in Ireland to be represented by their union of choice, the Communications Workers Union.

They are planning to stage a demonstration outside the company's corporate headquarters in Dublin at lunchtime today.
