Union members strike over jobs, pay and pensions after Fujitsu announced plans to cut it UK workforce by 1,800.
Members of the Unite union at Fujitsu are on strike today (28 February) in a protest over threats to their jobs. They are also calling for better pay and pensions.
In October last year, Japanese IT firm Fujitsu, which has 10,000 staff in the UK, announced plans to cut its UK workforce by about 1,800. The move is expected to include some offshoring. Workers in Belfast, Bracknell, Crewe, Londonderry/Derry, Manchester, Stevenage, Wakefield and Warrington will be affected.
IT staff at Fujitsu work on large IT services contracts for organisations including government departments.
