Unjust Ruling by Supreme Court ― In the Lawsuit against Disguised Contracting of Matsushita Plasma Display
On the December 18 afternoon, the Second Petty Bench of the Supreme Court (chaired by Chief Justice Yukio Takeuchi) gave an unjust ruling rejecting all items in Mr. Tsutomu Yoshioka's petition except for the one for compensation for harassment toward Mr. Yoshioka (Mobile cell phone flash by Ko Kurogane).
Unjustly dismissed after accusing Matsushita Plasma Display for its disguised contracting practices, Mr. Tsutomu won a complete victory on April 25 at the Osaka High Court when the court ordered that the dismissal be revoked. The epoch-making significance of the High Court ruling lies in that the disguised contracting Mr. Yoshioka was forced to be engaged in was tried under the Article 6 of the Labor Standards Law banning intermediate exploitation as well as Article 44 of the Employment Security Law banning the worker brokering business, which ruling gave hope to non-regular workers. The recent ruling of the Supreme Court absolutely denied the High Court decision. A reporting rally will be held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Employment Service Center in the evening. (Yoshioka-kai)
最高裁が不当判決!~松下プラズマディスプレイ偽装請負訴訟
12月18日午後、松下プラズマディスプレイ偽装請負訴訟で、最高裁第2小法廷(竹内行夫裁判長)は、吉岡力さんへの嫌がらせ行為に対する賠償だけを認め、その他の請求をすべて退ける不当判決を下した。(ケータイ速報・黒鉄好)
松下プラズマディスプレイの偽装請負を告発し、不当解雇された吉岡力さんは08年4月25日、大阪高裁で解雇撤回の全面勝利を手にしていた。高裁判決の画期的意義は、吉岡さんが強いられた偽装請負を、労働者供給事業を禁じた職業安定法44条と中間搾取を禁じた労働基準法6条を根拠に裁いたことにあり、非正規労働者に希望を与えるものだった。今回の最高裁判決はこの高裁判決をまっこうから否定するものになった。夜には東京しごとセンターで報告集会が開かれる。(M) 吉岡会
