Belfast Fujitsu workers strike

category down | worker & community struggles and protests | news report author Thursday January 07, 2010 12:03author by MH - International Socialists Report this post to the editors

Spread the solidarity

Fujitsu workers in the North have begun 3 days of strike action in opposition to a massive assault by bosses on conditions.

Management want over a thousand job losses, a continuation of a pay freeze and radically change pension arrangements. 700 people work for Fujitsu in Northern Ireland and it's clear the company are using the recession to push through cuts. Other bosses will replicate Fujitsu's approach if they get away with it. According to the strikers "Fujitsu Services’ profits more than doubled last year to £177m (the highest ever)." Clearly the money is there.
The strike leaders are seeking solidarity: messages of support (there is a facebook group), collections and circulating their material (see leaflet and donation sheet posted on link below).
The spreading of solidarity is key to challenging the notion that workers are "lucky to have a job" - one which is allowing the bosses in both private and public sectors to implement detrimental changes to employment conditions.
