Stop Use of Workers as "Disposable Humans"! - Rally against the Worker Dispatch Law Attracts 260 Participants


On April 13, a 260-strong meeting took place at the Bar Association HallCREO, Tokyo, entitled 'Now is the Time for Radical Revision of Worker Dispatch Law' Rally. Participants included labor organizations, citizen groups and individuals that had been involved in the Tent for the Jobless initiatives. The purpose of this meeting was to realize drastic revision of the Worker Dispatch Law, and participants also included representatives of the Democratic Party, the Democratic Socialist Party, the Japan Communist Party and the People's New Party. Among voices from reality on the ground, a compelling appeal of a youth (see the photo) who had been dismissed due to discontinuation of a worker dispatch contract received great applause of sympathy when he said from his heart, "We get fired with the simple remarks of our team leader like 'That guy isn't good enough. Send in a new worker.'They treat us like disposable items. This form of employment is obviously wrong." The organizers of the rally are planning to stage a rally in the Hibiya Outdoor Music Hall on May 14, determined to exercise all their strength to have the law revised drastically in the current Diet session.


「人間使い捨て」の働き方をやめさせよう!~派遣法集会に260人
 4月13日、東京・クレオ講堂で「今やらずにいつやる!派遣法抜本改正集会」が開催され、260人が集まった。参加者は、この間派遣村などを担っていた労働団体・市民団体・個人など。集会の目的はずばり今国会で派遣法の抜本改正を実現することで、民主・社民・共産・国民新党も参加した。現場からの発言では、三菱ふそうで派遣切りにあった青年(写真)が、「作業長の“あいつは使えない。別なやつを寄こせ”の一言でクビになる。人間が使い捨てにされていいのか。こんな派遣という形は明らかに間違っている」と切々と訴えると大きな共感の拍手が起きた。主催者は、5/14には日比谷野音集会を計画し、今国会での抜本改正に全力を挙げる。(M)
