Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

How can we get this in the US? We NEED IT!!! Maybe if Dell realized that the entire company is dissatisfied they will idk... do better to make us happy? aka realistic and liveable raises, gasp promotions! and you know, incintivise the people who are making the execs rich af?

@cw Companies threatening to offshore UK jobs should consider the wider consequences. Dell generates billions in UK revenue, makes substantial profits and distributes significant sums to shareholders overseas.

UK consumers and taxpayers may think twice about supporting companies that profit from Britain while cutting British jobs.

Threats to offshore jobs are largely a moot point when the issue could attract cross-party political support, including from Labour, Conservatives and Reform UK.

You cannot keep profiting from the UK while stripping away British jobs and expect taxpayers and consumers to keep supporting you.

If Unionization gives companies a hard time and eventually doesn't work, you can bet that all companies will initiate some sort of exodus of workers to far off places. We are fooked.

@cb Hypothetically, if Dell were to close its UK sites and offshore a significant number of jobs to Bangalore, it would raise legitimate questions about the company’s long-term commitment to the UK economy.

Dell generates billions of dollars in revenue from the UK market. While businesses must remain competitive and make commercial decisions, there is also a reasonable expectation that companies benefiting substantially from the British market contribute through employment, taxation and continued investment.

If, hypothetically, Dell were generating over $5 billion in UK revenue while maintaining only a minimal domestic workforce, questions would inevitably arise about the balance between its commercial interests and its contribution to the wider UK economy.

Such a decision would likely attract scrutiny from Members of Parliament, government ministers and major UK customers, particularly within the public sector.

It is also reasonable to suggest that this approach would not sit comfortably with the leadership of Reform UK, given the party’s stated emphasis on British employment, domestic investment and national economic interests.

Ultimately, this is not an argument against globalisation or international business operations. It is about recognising that companies operating successfully in major markets have broader economic responsibilities, and that decisions affecting domestic employment can carry political, commercial and reputational consequences.

♡♡♡NEWFLASH♡♡♡

DELL will be shuttering all U.K. sites & warns other countries of the same.

(((We'll just offshore all of your arses.to Bangalore)))

@OP Great will embrace union representation in UK let’s hope this helps.

@av Let’s be absolutely clear. We do not want a confrontational relationship with Dell. Quite the opposite.

What we want is a company where employees can wake up on a Monday morning without feeling stressed or anxious about their jobs, their pay, constantly changing internal tools, the next round of redundancies or what the future holds.

We want a positive, constructive relationship between Dell and its employees, built on mutual respect, transparency, fairness and trust.

We want Dell to succeed. A successful Dell should mean a secure, motivated and valued workforce. These objectives are not mutually exclusive.

However, we are equally clear that we are prepared to use every legitimate avenue available to us, including trade union representation, employment legislation and parliamentary scrutiny, to ensure employees’ rights and interests are protected.

Let’s also remember something important. Dell employees, like hundreds of thousands of other technology workers across Britain, are UK taxpayers and voters. We contribute significantly to the British economy, our communities and the public finances. Our concerns deserve to be heard by both employers and elected representatives.

This should never be about employees versus Dell. It should be about employees and Dell working together to build a better, fairer and more sustainable workplace. It is reasonable to ask a US multinational to respect UK employment law.

Ultimately, we want people to feel proud to work for Dell again, rather than worried about what Monday morning might bring.

@az I wouldn’t be so sure that Dell doesn’t care.
As an active member of the Conservative Party in the UK, I can assure you that senior figures within the party are taking a considerable interest in employment legislation and its implications for major multinational employers operating in Britain.

We have MPs prepared to use parliamentary privilege to raise questions about our campaign and challenge the relevant government ministers, including Jonathan Reynolds MP, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, and Kate Dearden MP, Minister for the Future of Work.

It is worth remembering that employment rights legislation has developed under successive Conservative and Labour governments. While the Employment Rights Act 2025 became law under Labour, it builds upon an established legislative framework, and protecting workers’ rights is not exclusively a Labour Party issue. There is scope for considerable cross-party cooperation on ensuring that major employers respect UK employment law.

There is also a significant financial argument here.

Dell Corporation Limited reported revenue of approximately £3.014 billion in FY24 and £3.084 billion in FY25, representing growth of around 2.3%. Reported FY26 profit has risen to approximately £77 million.

These figures raise legitimate questions about Dell’s UK employment strategy, particularly against the backdrop of restructuring, redundancies, office relocations and the potential movement of jobs offshore.

The CWU’s request for voluntary access to Dell UK sites is entirely reasonable. Employees deserve the opportunity to understand their employment rights and make informed decisions about trade union membership without fear or misinformation.

Dell may be an American multinational, but it operates under British employment law. Its treatment of UK employees is a legitimate matter for parliamentary scrutiny.

I certainly wouldn’t underestimate the political interest this campaign could attract, particularly when UK jobs, employment rights and corporate accountability are at stake.

They don’t care about UK labor laws lol.

If anything, this could give them an excuse to ditch the country entirely and just move everything to India.

Good. I hope they get skewered by the union and treat their employees with the respect and dignity they deserve.
