the CWU campaigns loud and clear to expose the dangers of BT break-up, while Angela Teeling of Merseyside & South West Lancs branch accused Ofcom of “overstepping its remit”. The Communication Workers Union ( CWU ) has warned of strike action if the government and Ofcom make a decision to enforce a structural separation of services from Openreach . Andy Smith , the general secretary of the union , said the UK already has one of the most competitive telecommunications markets in the world and that BT is investing into fixed networks , including in harder to reach parts of the country ; adding breaking up the business would undermine this commitment and bring years of disruption .
