Local PCS Activist Suspended


Colleagues,

We have received the details below from the PCS HP North West Branch Secretary detailing his plight as a fellow PCS member and activist.

John has been suspended for 8 weeks now by HP, after he sent to branch members a list of the 584 redundancies which were announced by the company in May. They have charged him with breaching company confidentiality.

The HP NW Branch website was updated recently with a link to a petition addressed to HP UK MD, Nick Wilson ( http://www.pcs-hpnw.org.uk/petition.html).


The petition supports the demand for the unconditional reinstatement of the Branch Secretary which was sent to HP on 7th June 2013 ( http://www.pcs-hpnw.org.uk/reinstatement.html ).

We have been asked to circulate the petition link, and the branch web links, to members in the branch, in order to spread awareness of the case and ask members to consider signing the petition.

Please Support John.
