We've been on strike today - picketing since the early morning. Far more staff stayed away than just the Amicus membership - the car park was less than half full, and there were even plenty of spaces in the managers' car park.
In the morning, we had good coverage on local radio - Century and BBC GMR. The BBC web site also carries a report.
We have photos available from our rally and march here on our website.

have you made any attempt to alert unions organising Fujitsu globally? According to their website www.fujitsu.com the company operates in:
Australasia China India Luxembourg Portugal Thailand
Belgium Finland Ireland Malaysia Singapore United Kingdom
Brazil France Italy Netherlands Spain United States
Canada Germany Japan (HQ) Philippines Taiwan Vietnam
Caribbean Hong Kong Korea
with headquarters in Japan.
Perhaps you might draft an open letter to Fujitsu workers world-wide - if you think it is appropriate.
in solidarity,
