COMMUNICATIONS union CWU responded bullishly to reports today that BT is preparing to announce plans to cut more than 6,000 jobs worldwide.
The telecoms giant is to announce major job cuts next week as part of a new corporate strategy to revive its ailing financial position, according to the Financial Times.
Following last May’s announcement that 4,000 jobs were being cut worldwide, the FT said that analysts had estimated a further 6,600 jobs would be cut in response to BT financial difficulties and the fallout from an accounting scandal in Italy.
