Jeco Union Decides Round Two of Strikes Against Terminating Fixed-term Contracts
Following the first lot of strikes in March 24, JAM Kanagawa Jeco Trade Union (Chairperson Nobuyoshi Takeda) struck for the second time on April 17. Toyota-related car parts maker Jeco have frozen new hire from autumn last year and started making layoffs. By September this year, Jeco is trying to terminate 92 employees on fixed-term contracts. The union has demanded to be able to collectively bargain for the fixed-term employees at Gyouda city, where they work, but the company has unreasonably rejected this. Workers struck at 16:30 on April 17 and entered the Gyouda factory through a side gate. After passing through the main gates, they made their way to the administrative building of head office. Workers ran up the stairs (see photo) and advanced into the second floor lobby (Report written by Kenichi Kita) *Photo provided by Jeco Union. For more detail see the Jeco Trade Union’s website.
ジェコー労組が期間工切り反対の第2波ストライキを決行!
4月17日、JAM神奈川ジェコー労働組合(武田信義委員長)が、3月24日に続く第2派のストライキを行いました。トヨタ系の自動車部品メーカー「ジェコー」は、昨秋から雇い止めと称する解雇を開始。今年9月までに92名の期間従業員全員を切ろうとしています。それに対し組合は、期間従業員を交えた団体交渉を、彼らが働いている行田市で行うことを要求していますが、会社は合理的理由を示さないままこれを拒否してきました。17日午後4時半、ストに立った組合員らは行田工場の通用門から構内に入り、正門前を経て本社管理棟へ。階段を駆け上がり(写真)、2階ロビーに進みました。(北健一) *写真=ジェコー労組提供 ・ジェコー労組HP
