One step closer to job security of non-regular employees: Achievement of strike



On April 17, 2015, the Metro Commerce local of the National Union of General Workers Tokyo Tobu, which consists of non-regular employees of kiosks of Tokyo Metro subway stations, conducted collective negotiations in central Tokyo with Metro Commerce, the employer, over job security of some of the employees who became 65, the age of retirement, at the end of March. The management of Metro Commerce offered the details of work for them to the union for the first time. The management commented, “We are going to hire tentatively”, as a result of a strike launched on April 1, but the union and the employees came one step closer to the job security. (SUDA Mitsuteru)

非正規労働者の雇用確保に一歩前進!~メトロコマース 4.1ストライキの成果

東京メトロ駅売店の非正規労働者でつくる全国一般東京東部労組メトロコマース支部は、今年3月末に65歳定年制のもとで雇い止めされた非正規労働者の雇用確保について、417日、東京メトロ子会社の雇い主メトロコマースとの団体交渉を東京・上野で行い、会社側が雇い止めされた65歳以降の非正規労働者に対する新たな仕事の内容を初めて組合側に提示しました。41日のストライキ闘争で「暫定的な雇用はやる」との回答を引き出しましたが、雇用確保に向けてさらに一歩前進したことになります。(須田光照)
