Sauna Oujou suddenly closed down in November 2009 and the union have run the sauna autonomously for half a year. The union’s struggle ended with a settlement at the Tokyo District Court on June 17. In the settlement the company retracted the dismissal and the union agreed to an amicable retirement for company reasons and the company agreed to pay a settlement payment to the union. The sauna closed finally at 10 am. June 26. The seven union members gathered for the closure toappreciate their hardships. Union members said “It was worth fighting. We got a victorious settlement, but it’s sad to lose the job I love” “I was backwards-looking at the start. But I became positive as the struggle went on”. A reporting meeting will be held at the Sohyo Hall on July 23. (By Ryuta Kuisako)
