Fujitsu Employees Prepare For Strike Action
Fujitsu employees are preparing for strike action in a dispute over pay, jobs and pensions.
Workers taking action are based at sites in Belfast, Basingstoke, Birmingham, Bracknell, Crewe, Edinburgh, London, Manchester, Stevenage, Wakefield and Warrington.
Members of Unite will walk out for 48 hours from 18 May and 25 May and for 24 hours on 22 May in addition to a 24-hour stoppage on 08 May and a 48-hour strike on 11 May.
Unite national officer Ian Tonks said: "The announcement of five days of new strikes demonstrates the determination of our members to fight for their jobs and employment conditions and our adamant opposition to 'exporting' skilled UK jobs abroad.
"The UK management of Fujitsu is intransigent and refuses to engage with its dedicated and hardworking employees. Our members will continue their fight – and the fact that 20 days of strike action has or will be held is a mark of their strong resolution."
