Unite Comment on Ericsson and TT Redundancy Threats
LONDON, January 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Unite is concerned for hundreds of members at two of the world's electronic powerhouses amid threats of widespread redundancies in the coming year. Peter Skyte, Unite National Officer for the IT sector, said: "This is very worrying news at a time when highly skilled workers are losing their jobs in their thousands across the UK. "Any cuts in the UK would mean the loss of highly skilled workers, precisely those which the UK and the economy can ill afford to lose. "Unite is determined to do everything we can to avoid further losses. We have scheduled emergency meetings with Ericsson tomorrow and are seeking an urgent meeting with TT electronics. Following today's news that jobs may go on an international level at both companies, our priority is to ensure that both companies make their intentions towards UK workers clear as early as possible."
