Fujitsu workers in Belfast who are members of the trade union, Unite, are to take further strike action.

The workers at the Japanese electronics giant are involved in a dispute with the firm over job cuts, a pay freeze and pension changes.

Fujitsu employs around 11,500 people in the UK and has about 400 staff in Belfast and 100 in Londonderry.

The union said about 70 people were at risk of compulsory redundancy across the UK.

The company has said it was disappointed that industrial action was being taken.

Earlier this month, shoppers in Belfast city centre were leafleted by striking workers.

They protests outside Marks and Spencer as well as other firms which use Fujitsu as their IT provider.

Some Northern Ireland-based staff at Japanese technology firm Fujitsu have begun a three-day strike.

The strike is over job cuts, a pay freeze and pension changes. Last year the IT services unit of Fujitsu said it would cut up to 1,200 jobs in the UK.

About 30 members of the Unite union are on strike in Northern Ireland.

Workers at the north of England’s headquarters in Risley near Warrington and the sites in Manchester and Crewe have also walked out.

A Unite spokesman said that weather permitting, staff would also form picket lines outside the company’s buildings.

The company employs 700 people in two offices in Northern Ireland – one in Belfast, the other in Londonderry.

Staff at Fujitsu held a one-day strike in December.

They will stage further strike action on 14 and 15 January.
