Sapporo Regional Labor Union: Victory after Home for the Elderly Otomo Keiaien Settles Out of Court
A union and Otomo Keiaien (200 beds) of Sapporo City's Higashi Ward settled out of Sapporo District Court on July 2. The union filed a civil lawsuit in demand for compensation of bonus cut last year and for refusing to agree to collective bargaining. The settlement demanded the management 1) pay about 12 million yen to 59 union members; 2) sincerely accept orders from Hokkaido Labor Standards Office; and 3) respect the union's right to collective bargaining and agree to negotiate. The union was able to make use of the order issued by the labor office and the court's order to pay a fine. But the union withdrew the compensation demand for refusing to
negotiate since the new director and the new manager sincerely agreed to resolve the case. (By Suzuki at Sapporo Regional Labor Union) *Photo = Strike at Otomo Keiaien
札幌地域労組: 老人ホーム 大友恵愛園の裁判闘争で勝利和解
札幌市東区の特別養護老人ホーム大友恵愛園(200床)における昨年の一時金カットと、組合が使用者の団交拒否に対する損害賠償を求めていた民事訴訟で、7月2日、札幌地裁にて和解が成立しました。和解の要旨は(1)法人(大友恵愛園)は原告(59名の組合員)の請求を認め、約1200万円を支払う(2)法人は組合に対し、北海道労働委員会の救済命令を受けたことを真摯に受け止め、今後は組合の団結権を尊重し、誠実に団交に応ずることを約束する、など三項目。昨年の労働委員会の救済命令や、それに続く裁判所からの過料処分を、今後の労使関係に生かすことができました。団交拒否に対する損害賠償は、気持ちよく解決に応じた新理事長や新施設長の誠実さに免じ、放棄しました。(札幌地域労組・鈴木) *写真=大友恵愛園のストライキ
