Telecoms and postal workers from all across south Wales have gathered in Cardiff's Central Square in a protest over pay. The industrial action coincides with the first of two days of BT and Openreach strikes, and the first of 18 days of Royal Mail walkouts.

During the action senior union reps from the Communication Workers Union and other unions addressed a crowd of over 100 people, comprised mainly of striking BT and Openreach workers as well as Royal Mail staff.

One speaker said: “We can’t accept it and will not accept it. The system is rigged against working people. BT, the RMT, teachers, nurses… need to work together.”One man at the protest told WalesOnline workers were resorting to food banks, including one in the BT buildings.

He said: "It's important to send a message to BT and Openreach that we won't stand by with this corporate greed and the rich getting richer.
