Barrow DQ update

Dear Colleague


BT has advised the CWU that opportunities have been identified to work in the BT Customerstreet sales office in Barrow and Lancaster.
  These opportunities offer roles as telesales executives within BT Directories in a sales environment dealing with outbound calls with an ability to earn an uncapped potential on bonus arrangements. It is my understanding that full training and ongoing support will be provided and that the hours are Monday to Friday 09:00 am to 05:30 pm with no evenings or weekend and no bank holiday working.
  At this point in time BT are just asking whether individuals are interested in visiting the site and having a look around in order that individuals can judge whether this type of work environment will suit you.
  As you are aware the CWU is campaigning for suitable alternative work and whilst this is BT work we understand that sales work is very different to the kind of work you are currently undertaking. However, we welcome the voluntary approach taken by the company as they recognise that this may not be a suitable option for everyone, given the type of work on offer.
  However individuals may want to visit the site to see for themselves the type of work and environment that being a first line sales executive at Customerstreet involves.
  I look forward in seeing you all next week.

Yours sincerely

Sally Bridge

CWU Assistant Secretary
