Eradicate Housing Poor ? Movement to Address Housing Poor Problem Starts


On March 14, 2009, a meeting was held in Tokyo to found a national network to address the problem of economic deprivation directly linked to “housing poor”. It was hosted by the “Network to Address the Housing Poor Problem”. About 200 people joined the meeting that was held at the Okubo Community Center in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo. The participants, including supporters and experts on this issue made discussions based on emotional appeals from the troubled. They marched to Shinjuku after the meeting (photo), chanting slogans “Build public housing”, “Owners, don’t discriminate applicants”, “Reduce rents”, “Abolish the guarantor system”, “Control poverty business” and “Confront the housing poor problem”. It suddenly got colder in the evening, but the angry chants blew up the cold and resonated around Shinjuku Railway Station. (Reported by Yokoyama T)


なくそうハウジングプア~住まいの貧困に取り組む運動がスタート
 経済的貧困が「住居の貧困」に直結する問題に取り組む全国ネットワークの設立集会が3月14日、都内であった。主催は「住まいの貧困に取り組むネットワーク」。会場となった東京新宿区の大久保地域センターに約200人が集まった。参加者は、現場からの切実な訴えに耳を傾け、支援者、専門家らも交えて議論した。集会後、新宿に向かってデモ行進(写真)。「公共住宅を造れ」「大家は入居差別をやめろ」「家賃を下げろ」「保証人制度をなくせ」「貧困ビジネスを規制しろ」「住まいの貧困とたたかうぞ」。夕方になって気温が急に下がった。寒風を突き裂く怒りのシュプレヒコールが、夜の新宿駅周辺に響きわたった。(T・横山)

Politicians’ Intervention in Classrooms Illegal ? Epoch-making Decision on Nanao School for Handicapped Children


The Tokyo District Court ordered the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and three metropolitan assembly members, Tsuchiya Takayuki (Democratic Party), Tashiro Hiroshi (Liberal Democratic Party) and Koga Toshiaki (LDP), to pay 2.1 million yen in total to 31 ex-teachers at Nanao School for Handicapped Children in Tokyo who requested compensation to them. The chief justice Yao Wataru judged, “The act of the three metropolitan assembly members to have entered the premises of the school and denounced the teachers at the nurse’s office was an intervention in school education based on their political principles and creeds. Therefore, it is feared to inhibit and distort autonomy of school education and falls under ‘undue control’ over it”, and ordered the defendants to pay the plaintiffs 50,000 to 200,000 yen per person. It was a groundbraking decision to criticize the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education that tolerated the political intervention. (Written by Johnny H) *Photo: Cited from news report

Steve Zeltzer Encourages Kokuro Struggle Groups on Sit-in in Front of Parliament



On March 10, 2009, Steve Zeltzer, representative of LaborNet US, interviewed and encouraged Kokuro (National Railworkers Union) Struggle Group members and their families who were on sit-in to demand a political solution for their dismissal. There were some 250 demonstrators including about a hundred unfairly fired workers in front of the parliament. Mr. Zeltzer strongly appealed with a lot of applause, “Privatization caused the destruction of public services and the serious deterioration of working conditions in both the US and Japan. Nakasone (former Japanese prime minister) openly said in an NHK TV program, ‘Privatization was carried out to collapse Kokuro’, but this is a criminal act in violation of labor laws. Nakasone has to be arrested as a criminal and sent to jail”. (Written by M) Related HP

 3月10日、来日中のスティーブ・ゼルツアーさん(レイバーネット米国・写真)が、JR不採用問題の政治解決を求めて座り込んでいる国労闘争団・家族らを取材・激励した。この日国会前には、約100名の被解雇者を中心に計250名が座り込みを続けていた。マイクを握ったスティーブさんは「アメリカでも日本でも、民営化がもたらしたものは、公共サービスの破壊と労働条件の著しい悪化だった。ナカソネがNHKで堂々と“国労をつぶすために民営化をやった”と語っているが、これは労働法違反の犯罪行為である。ナカソネを犯罪者として逮捕し、刑務所に送るべきだ」と力強くアピールし、大きな拍手を浴びた。(M) ・関連HP

Just a Badge, yet Important ? Support Consistent Tsujii-san!


On March 2, 2009, an examination of a witness was held at Kanagawa Prefecture Labor Relations Commission to try the relevancy of punishment (suspension for maximum ten days) to Tsujii Yoshiharu, a staff of Hongodai Station of JR (Japan Rail) East and the only employee of the railway company who continues to wear a Kokuro union badge. Forty workers and citizens came to the examination in support of Mr. Tsujii. It focused on JR East’s refusal to rehire him after his age of retirement due to the badge. Four days later, an event hosted by JR Watch, “Support Tsujii-san”, was held. A new video and a new “Song of the Badge” were introduced, and Sataka Makoto, a critic, delivered a lecture with the title, “JR never learns”. It was revealed just recently that JR East “stole water” from a river, and its “money-first privatization” with little regard for safety and human rights will be questioned. * Relevant HP * Cartoon: Ichihanahana

 3月2日、神奈川県労働委員会でJR東日本でただ一人国労バッジ着用を続ける辻井義春さん(JR本郷台駅勤務)への処分(最高10日間出勤停止)が不当であるか否かを審理する証人尋問が開催され、辻井さんを支援する労働者、市民40名が傍聴にかけつけた。JR東日本は、バッジを理由に定年後の再雇用を拒否する通告をしてきており、その問題がこの日の証人尋問の焦点になった。 また3月6日には東京・飯田橋で、JRウォッチ主催の「辻井さんを励ます会」が開催される。新作ビデオや「バッジの歌」の初披露をはじめ、佐高信さんが「懲りないJR」と題して辛口講演を行う。「水泥棒」が明らかになったばかりのJR東日本だが、安全と人権を軽視する「金儲け民営化体質」が改めて問われることになるだろう。 ・関連HP *漫画=壱花花

“One-Day Action in Osaka” with the Discharged in Struggle against Panasonic


I covered the One-day action in Osaka hosted by the National Council of Zenkoku Ippan trade union on March 2, 2009, which is affiliated to Jichiro (All-Japan Prefectural and Municipal Workers Union). Former Panasonic employees who were fired surrounded the headquarters of the electronic giant, showing the struggle being harder and harder. The action was also joined by Sato Masako in struggle against Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd., Yoshioka Tsutomu in struggle against Panasonic Plasma Display Co., Ltd., and Mr. Miyake who stood up against former Matsushita Refrigeration Company. It obviously implies the formation to confront a huge evil and a new direction of Japan’s labor movement. (Written by Kimura Osamu) * Other photos, videos (UnionTube) . Reported by Yamahara

One Life Charity Concert Mesmerizes Packed Auditorium


On February 28th, a charity concert “One Song, One Dance, One Life” was held to raise funds for a War and Women Human Rights Museum. The auditorium was packed with close to 900 spectators who were mesmerized by the performance held at Tokyo Hitotsubashi Hall. This concert was held in June last year in Osaka where it was well received, and this time the concert was held in Tokyo under the same name. The three zanichi (Koreans residing in Japan) performers Su-ok Cho (dance), Jeong-mi Lee (song) and Seong-mi Ang (Pansori Korean music) dazzled the audience. The program was the same as in Osaka with Pansori, dance, and song, but the art of each performance in three different genres was so interesting that it deeply impressed the packed audience. The audience was diverse including the old and the young, healthy and people with disabilities (Reported by KY).

Demand that Mitsubishi Fuso Recognize the Right Of Laid Off Workers To Stay In Dorms!


On February 26th, the union successfully managed to get Mitsubishi Fuso to recognize their members’ right to stay in the company dorm as a result of negotiations between Mitsubishi Fuso and Shutoken Youth Union (see photo on right). Members were laid off by the labor hire agency after Mitsubishi Fuso terminated its contract with the agency. Shutoken Youth Union won this recognition from Mitsubishi Fuso by campaigning outside its head office with slogans such as “We can’t leave the company dorms” and “We demand that Mitsubishi Fuso recognize our right to stay”. This is a significant victory because it recognizes the right of labor hire workers to stay in company dorms after their contracts have been terminated by the labor hire agency (Reported by Shutoken Youth Union). *Photo taken in front of Keidanren on Feb. 25th.

三菱ふそうに「派遣切り」労働者の居住権を認めさせる!
 2月26日、三菱ふそうと首都圏青年ユニオンとの交渉の結果、三菱ふそうに派遣契約を打ち切られたために派遣会社から解雇されたユニオン組合員(写真右)の三菱ふそうの社員寮の居住について、その継続を認めさせることに成功した。首都圏青年ユニオンは、「寮から退去することはできない」「三菱ふそうは居住の権利を認めろ」と三菱ふそう本社前での宣伝行動をおこない、三菱ふそうとの合意を勝ち取った。この合意は、派遣先企業の社員寮に派遣契約が打ち切られた以降の派遣労働者の居住権を認めさせたという点できわめて重要である。(首都圏青年ユニオン)  *写真=2/25経団連前

Anti-Poverty Campaign Callout. “No Cuts” Performance Held In Front of Keidanren


In the light rain during the lunch break on February 25th, a performance of “No Cuts” was held in front of the Keidanren. The call out for the performance was made by the Anti-poverty Campaign. The police mobilized large numbers of riot police and security guards, and their overreaction was highly visible as they threatened to arrest the organizers in the campaign vehicle for “illegal parking”. Despite such intimidation, some 150 members of the Shutoken Youth Union, Tobu Union, Gatenkei-Rentai, and Women’s Union turned out for the performance. One of the speakers “S”, a worker from Mitsubishi Fuso who had been made redundant at the end of February and told to leave the company dorms, protested that: “I’ve got no money, no job. They say leave, but I can’t.” The crowd shouted words of encouragement such as “You don’t have to leave!” The final performance involved all the participants raising their placards saying “No Cuts” to voice their protest against the Keidanren.

 2月25日昼、小雨まじりの東京・経団連ビル前で反貧困ネットが呼びかけた「切るな」パフォーマンスが行われた。警察は、機動隊と公安を大動員し、主催者の宣伝カーを「駐車違反で逮捕する」と脅すなど異常な過剰警備が目立った。そんななか首都圏青年ユニオン・東部労組・ガテン系連帯・女性ユニオンなどアクティブなユニオンメンバーが続々と集まり、150人に膨れあがった。派遣切りで2月末で寮退去を迫られている三菱ふそうのSさんが「金も仕事もない。出ろと言われても出られない」と訴えると「出なくていいぞ!」と激励の声が飛んだ。参加者は、最後に「切るな」のプラカードを一斉に掲げるパフォーマンスを行い、首切りの総本山・経団連に怒りをぶつけた。 ムキンポ氏の写真反貧困ネットHP(リンク)・動画(UnionTube)

Some 525 people gather to protest against layoffs in Aichi. Mr. Yuasa spoke on the plight of workers who can’t say "No".


On February 22nd, a mass meeting was held in Aichi at the Telepia Hall in Nagoya in order to protest the successive layoff of labor hire workers in the manufacturing industry (see photo). Some 525 citizens and others gathered to the meeting to hear the plight of the laid off workers and Mr. Yuasa’s speech, the organizer of the Tent City that was held over the New Years period. Mr. Yuasa highlighted that: “The Tent City was not simply charity. It is a campaign to enable workers to get out of the downward spiral into poverty, which forces them to accept the degradation of their work conditions, and create a healthy labor market that allows workers to say “No!” to these attacks”.

2/16 Tokyo Collective Action: Joint Action Held With Non-Permanent and Foreign Workers


On February 16th, I covered and participated in the Tokyo Collective Action, a joint action involving the unions and individuals in the disputes against the layoffs and attempts to crush unionism. Unions included the Keihin Hotel Union, who had been fighting hotel closure by running the hotel independently of management, and Brazilian workers from the Kanagawa City Union (see photo). Others were also present such as Tsutomu Yoshioka, involved in the dispute against the use of contract workers who do not have the benefits of labor hire workers, Fukuzou Honda, a worker who was laid off during his trial period, and the National Railway Workers, who have been fighting for over 22 years against the privatization of rail. Those involved in the Toyota Philippines dispute also participated. It was an invigorating day and I felt that the global campaign to build joint action between non-permanent and foreign workers was gaining strength in Japan’s labor movement (Reported by Osamu Kimura).

Never Meekly Accept It - Takeshi Kitagawa, a Fixed-term Employee at Honda Motor Rises


A trade union for protecting the rights of fixed term employees has been organized at Honda Motors Co., Ltd. Union Mie Honda Unit. On February, Union Mie publicly presented its member Mr. Takeshi Kitagawa (at the right in the photo) to submit a letter of request to the headquarters of Honda. Mr. Kitagawa's appeal says, "Why are we "term" employees put in a weak position? It is because we are not organized in a union, I suppose. A labor union is not a privilege only granted to regular employees. It is a right granted to all workers under Article 28 of the Constitution of Japan."

Topple Aso! Topple the Cabinet! Action - Lively Demonstration in Shinjuku, Tokyo


"Hey, Aso, don't demise automatically. Wait so we can knock you down properly!" --- A demonstration took place on February 8 an the main streets of Shinjuku, Tokyo, calling to stand up for democracy instead of allowing irresponsible self-demolition of the administration (staged by an ad hoc committee). Starting at the Okubo Park behind the Shinjuku Koma Theatre, about 200 participants went through Kabukicho to the Yasukuni street. A video-shooting crew from the security police was before the front line of the demonstration. Police officers from the PR section repeated spiritless warnings while walking around with a transistor megaphone. In the face of surrounding policemen in uniform or in plane clothes, participants mightily beat the instruments they had brought with them and appealed loudly in rhythmical chants, "Get down, Aso! Let's overthrow Aso!" This performancewas even more vitalized with participants in ingenious guises. (Y) See the initiator's blog.

Unacceptable JR-Lumine Business Practice - "Meeting for Listening to BERG's Story" Takes Place


On February 5, JR Watch held a "Meeting for Listening to BERG's Story" in Tokyo. Beer & Cafe BERG located near the east ticket gate of the Shinjuku Station has 19-year long history and is extremely popular among customers for the high-quality coffee and beer offered at reasonable prices. At present, however, the shop is urged to move out by the end of March 2009 by Lumine, a subsidiary of JR East. The meeting featured a three-minute video followed by detailed explanation of the development of the matter by the shop manager Mr. Ino (left) and the assistant shop manager Mr. Hasamagawa (right). Lumine had demanded change of the contract by means of threatening, stroking and deceiving. Their techniques were exactly the same as those employed in persecuting Kokuro (National Railway Workers' Union). BERG for customers, operated according to an utterly different principle from JR's profit-driven business practices. The thirty participants of the meeting had a brainstorming session for expanding the support for BERG. (M) (See the three-minute video of BERGBERG HP)

Press Conference at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan on the Issue of Poverty and Employment


On February 4, the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, based in Tokyo, had a press conference on the povety and employment issues. The three guest speakers were Mr. Makoto Yuasa, the director general of NPO Moyai; Mr. Makoto Kawazoe, the secretary general of the Metropolitan Youth Union (General Youth Chapter of Tokyo Metropolitan General Workers' Union); and Ms. Naoko Shimizu, the president of FRZK (union of general part-timers, arbiters, freeters and foreign workers) (see the photo). At the beginning, the DVD "Tent City for Jobless" (6 minutes, English version) was shown. Mr. Yuasa said, "Within labor market, the quality of employment has degraded as represented in the worker dispatch business and outside the labor market, no safety net is functioning. These are the causes of the povety peculiar to the situation in Japan where unemployment immediately means the homeless status," pointing out the two factors in particular. Mr. Kawazoe reported on the inhumane working conditions of dispatched workers. Ms. Shimizu released the new action development, saying, "Our union would like to rent apartments so that we can provide inexpensive shelters for laid-off dispatched workers."
