Fujitsu is currently facing a legal charge from members of the Unite union over plans of pay freeze and cessation of final salary pensions.
Around 87 percent of union members voted for a strike action, while 96 percent agreed to have an industrial action short of a strike. If Fujitsu pushes through with the closure of its final salary pension programme, 4,000 employees will be terminated by September and re-appointed under new employment contracts.
Fujitsu also enforced a pay freeze prior to its next round of salary increase. The union anticipates a pay reduction of 15 percent with the firm’s plans.
“Our members are insisting that the company should pay fairly and provide decent pensions for all its employees,” Unite national officer for IT and communications Peter Skyte said.
“Following the announcement of 1200 redundancies, they are now calling for the issue of job cuts to be included in any ballot for formal industrial action. We are calling on the company to meet us to resolve these issues and avoid the risk of damaging industrial action.”
Skyte maintained Fujitsu is still financially stable and is even predicted to earn more profits over the next few months.
