Sinn Féin MP John Finucane has said BT must do all it can to protect as many jobs as possible at its Belfast headquarters.
Speaking following reports that up to 90 positions could be at risk of redundancy, the North Belfast MP said:
“News that 90 positions in BT’s Belfast headquarters could be at risk of redundancy is concerning, and I want to firstly extend my solidarity to these workers as they learn about this news.
“This will come as a devastating blow to these workers and their families, some with decades-long experience at the company.
“I will be writing to the company calling on its management to do everything it can to retain as many jobs as possible, and support those workers made redundant with retraining or re-skilling.
“BT must now ensure they work alongside trade unions to keep employees informed of any developments as this process develops.”
