The latest from Fujitsu
Stuart Thomas, Fujitsu rep gives an update from the under-pressure IT company.
Fujitsu UK continues to attract media attention, with a recent article revealing that the UK CEO received a 50% salary increase. This comes despite Fujitsu Japan having injected £280 million over the past two years to keep the UK arm financially viable. While Fujitsu UK has undergone significant downsizing, those members working on government contracts appear relatively secure for now. However, uncertainty remains around whether this stability will persist through upcoming contract renewals. The outcome of the final phase of the Post Office inquiry will be pivotal in shaping Fujitsu UK's future.
On the pay front, although members are currently in the middle of a two-year pay deal, the pay team has been working hard to secure the best possible outcome for members by distributing the current pay pot effectively. We've observed subtle shifts in the company’s approach to pay, which may be a result of sustained pressure from PCS members over the past year. Notably, PCS CBU members remain the only group within the company guaranteed a pay increase nationally.
Despite challenges posed by inaccurate pay data and tight deadlines, the pay team believes it has delivered the best deal achievable under current conditions. Members can expect to receive their pay increases before Christmas.
