BT Group Plc workers are set to strike nationwide for the first time in 35 years, the Communication Workers Union said Wednesday.

Its eligible members voted overwhelmingly in favor of a strike last month and a deadline set by the union for the company to make a better pay offer has now passed. Some 40,000 workers could walk out, the union said at the time.
