HP strike at Derby and Bristol - March 2011

Unite members and Representatives on their first ever picket line at HP in Bristol and Derby on 16 March 2011.

Our members on image terms contacts are striking because HP have yet again imposed a pay freeze (2009 and 2010). This is on the back of HP announcing profits in 2010 of $14.4 billion, which is up 14% year on year. Unite members contribute to HP's success but get no recognition. They say it's time HP treated them with the dignity and respect they deserve and enter into real negotiation, not exploitation.

Kevin O'Gallagher, National Officer, is clear that the Union will fully support it's members against the unjustified reduction in real terms of our members earnings when the company is making huge profits.
