Posties, BT workers and emergency call handlers in Dumfries and Galloway braved a downpour and walked out yesterday in their ongoing battle for fairer pay.
Staff, represented by the Communications Workers Union (CWU), downed tools for 24 hours in protest over the deals they have been given this year.
BT handed workers a £1,500 pay increase, an average of five per cent, while postal workers had a two per cent rise “imposed” on them.
