Support Fujitsu Members - Demo's and Pickets

Don't forget the London Fujitsu "Scrooge" protest Friday!!
The “Scrooge” protest will be outside Fujitsu’s HQ at LON22, which is 22 Baker Street, London, W1U 3BW at 12:00 on Friday 18th December. 

Fujitsu will be visited by the ghosts of pensions past, jobs present and pay that is yet to come.  The protest should attract considerable media interest, helping our campaign.  The intention is then to pop round the corner onto Oxford Street to leaflet outside one or two of Fujitsu’s High Street customers.  Activities should be complete by 2pm.

The more people who join in, the better.  You can bring along family and friends.
UNITE members in many parts of the country have already arranged with their Regional Officers for the union to cover their fares to London to take part.  If you haven’t already done so, don’t delay.

There are still places left on the coach from the north-west, which is picking up:
• Leaving 6am sharp, Chorlton Street, Manchester City Centre, alongside the coach station
• Be at M6 Knutsford Services (southbound) by 6:20am
• Be at M6 Sandbach Services (southbound) by 6:35am
The coach will leave London for the return journey at 3pm.  Please saying where you want to be picked up and providing your mobile number.
