If Oliver Cromwell were alive, I'm sure he would disolve this government for betraying the people that it represents! The implications of what are happening to our pensions need to be recognised by this governemnt. Along with us, our children and future generations, we are all ultimately going to pay the price of the greed fuelled captains of industry and government.

I'd like to see a very public demonstration of all the employees from each company whose pensions are being stolen to feed the greed of the unethical few! Outside Parliament would seem like a good place.

It is time to stand up and be counted. As a long term IBM employee I have never had the need to join a Union, but things have changed - I am now ashamed to be associated with IBM and have joined hundreds of my UK colleagues in joining Unite ... There is no longer any respect for the individual at IBM, we are being treated as "numbers" and being shafted by IBM Execs. We shall be watching the Fujitsu action carefully and give you our support.

Good luck to all the Fujitsu employees from a betrayed IBMer. These immoral executives are acting exactly like the robber barons of old. It is up to all of us to stand up to these abhorent individuals. I have never known such hatred for senior management as is now being expressed in our offices. Unite and fight. We are all in this together.

This is bigger than pensions. It is about the total erosion of the workplace and the manner in which execs can easily cut "cost" whilst lining their own pockets. Fight on tooth and nail, as a disgusted IBMer I am behind you.
