REDUNDANCIES AT FUJITSU SERVICES

That this House is aware that Fujitsu Services provides vital services to the private sector and central and local government; notes that Fujitsu Services' profits more than doubled last year to the highest ever level of ??177 million; recognises that Fujitsu was able to pay out ??1.6 million in compensation for loss of office to two directors and contrasts this with its proposal to change its final salary pension scheme for its 11,000 UK-based employees that will see it closed to existing employees for future accrual phased in from March 2011, effectively amounting to a pay cut of 20 per cent.; further notes that Fujitsu Services still plans to make people compulsorily redundant on 31 January 2010 despite reducing the original proposed 1,200 job cuts down to fewer than 100; further notes that the company has imposed a pay freeze; understands that in reaction to this there have been six days of strike action by Unite members; and calls on Fujitsu management to address the genuine concerns of loyal and hard-working employees and for Fujitsu and Unite to sit down together and negotiate in good faith to resolve this dispute.
