BT DERRY CLOSURE: UNION STATEMENT

In response to BT’s announcement to close its Derry offices, CWU National Officer Tracey Fussey said: “The decision to close operations in Derry to offshore the work to India has left workers and the local community stunned.

“After the loss of hundreds of jobs at Enniskillen and Belfast in the past year, this comes as yet another blow to communities already suffering from a lack of investment and opportunity.

“CWU members are hugely disappointed with the decision, and will be doing all they can to protect jobs and identify suitable alternatives.”
