The Unite union has condemned Fujitsu'splans to cut 1,200 jobsin the UK.
The union said the plans were "wholly unwarranted" given the
company's recent profits and financial performance and said it
would be doing everything possible to protect jobs.
Peter Skyte, Unite national officer for IT and communications,
said, "These proposed redundancies amounting to 10% of its UK
workforce are wholly unwarranted given that the company made £200m
profit last year. It even paid two directors £1.59m in compensation
for loss of office.
"Unite is pressing for detailed information about the reasons
for this proposal and the areas affected. We will be doing
everything possible to protect the jobs of the workforce."
