Fujitsu (PCS) Strike Calendar

More than 300 workers employed by outsourced Fujitsu Services UK at Telford and offices across the UK will take strike action on January 30 and 31 after being offered a pay rise of just 1.5%. Their civil service colleagues employed directly by HMRC got 5% this year for doing similar jobs. The two days of strike action will take place on the two days prior to the self-assessment online tax return deadline.

Following strike action by PCS members employed by Fujitsu, the company has almost doubled its initial offer of 2-3% to 5% across the board for everyone with some of the lowest paid receiving up to a 15% increase in salary. On top of this, the company agreed to give all our members in the dispute an extra day of annual leave, and review out-of-hours rates which haven’t increased in years.

Over 300 PCS members employed by Fujitsu Services UK are on strike today (17) after being offered a pay rise almost ten times less than their Japanese counterparts.

The members who are mainly employed on contracts for HMRC are taking strike action after they were offered a pay rise of between 3-4% while Fujitsu workers in Japan were offered up to 29%.

Some members with crucial IT roles fixing HMRC computers and protecting critical HMRC high end user systems will be taking additional action from January 18 to February 15.
