Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

@OP That is a very valid point. Trade unions can introduce challenges for both employees and employers, and those considerations should be acknowledged.

At the same time, the political and business optics of a US multinational taking decisions of this nature would need to be considered carefully. In the current environment, such actions could attract significant media and stakeholder attention and may be interpreted — rightly or wrongly — as being unsupportive of the UK workforce.

For organisations with a strong UK presence, these broader perceptions can be just as important as the immediate operational considerations.

Be careful. These Union 'heroes' may become villains if Dell pull out of the UK and move their sales teams to other non-unionised countries . Lots of UK sales already based in India, easy for them to move SB/MB and even some corporate/enterprise sales out of the UK , massive cost savings too . This has always been the threat .

@f7

We’re using an independent information website and some digital ads to share factual information about trade unions and UK workplace rights. This is to protect the privacy of organisers and employees.

As a matter of good practice, employees are advised not to discuss unionising on company systems, on company property, or during working hours. Information should be accessed in personal time, using personal devices.

From October 2026, provisions under the UK Employment Rights (Employers) Act 2025 will allow trade unions lawful access to UK workplaces, including Dell UK sites, to provide union information, subject to statutory conditions.

Which UK offices will the flyers etc be put in?

@OP Yes this initiative has my backing .

@ch who? Those poor Chinese souls making hw 12h pet day with barely any breaks.

@bs who do you think keeps everyone else in a job you fu--ing tattie

Lazy sales fatcats, can back to your cages and start working finally!

@bs who do you think 'does their job' which keeps you in a job? Without sales nobody has a job you fu--ing melt.

@b7 'if Dell didn't do their job' you wouldn't have one, you absolute waste of space

Why is it always sales...if they just did their jobs...all these problems. Do the needful. Remember ABC.

@b7, this post concerns UK employees exercising their legal right to join a UK trade union.

Speculation about whether Dell UK sales staff are “doing their jobs” is not relevant to that discussion. Performance management is the responsibility of Dell leadership and HR, not a matter for public commentary on a post about lawful union activity.

If you have concerns regarding employee performance, the appropriate course of action is to raise them directly with Dell HR through the proper internal channels.

I've been saying it for years. USA Dell employees need to do the same. Its time we stand together and work as a collective for fair wages, fair work loads, not to mention benefits and retirement. WE make them money. The product and services do not themselves, nor does it support itself. Remember that. Should we have a say when changes affect our livelihood?

If sales actually did their job there would be no need to go to CWU or any other organization.

Ireland needs the same.

This is why other countries like the UK, Germany, Australia, and others are far ahead of the USA when it comes to employee rights.

Here in the USA, we let Large Corporations and Govt Institutions run right over us at every turn. Changing these comp plans without employee representation should be illegal. We need to fight back.

Wish you guys the very best - just keep an eye on those people who will try to create a false narrative around this effort and/or drive scaremongering via
HR.

Good Luck!!

Now lets do Ireland!
