More than a month-long general strike by cement industry in Osaka!
The cement industry in Osaka Prefecture has been on a general strike for more than a month by now. Due to the strike, construction around Osaka Station has been suspended. The strike was launched by about 1,000 owners of small to medium-size companies, and workers and members of cement industry trade union, All Dock Workers Union, Japan Construction and Transport Industry Workers Solidarity Union, and other related unions. They demanded raising the price of one square meter of cement to 18,000 yen. They launched a strike for an unlimited term. Part of the industry already accepts the new price as appropriate, but a collective bargaining continues with trading companies for cement, workers cooperatives and general contractors. The strike was expected to last for a while. Photo by BS Japan News, Kansai Cement Branch website.
大阪府内で生コン業者がゼネスト決行中!1ヵ月を突破!
去る7月2日より始まった大阪府内の生コン業者によるゼネラルストライキは、1ヵ月を突破した。このストにより、大阪駅周辺の再開発工事など主要な現場は操業停止状態にある。ストを行っているのは、生コン産労(*)・全港湾・全日建連帯ユニオンなどの各関連労働組合、生コン会社の中小企業経営者など約1千人。ゼネコンと価格交渉を行える生コン共同組合に対し、生コン業者の営業存続が可能な納入価格1リューベ(立方メーター)あたり1万8000円への値上げを要求。無期限ゼネストに突入した。一部現場では「新価格=適正価格」による生コンの納入も始まってはいるが、生コン商社、生コン協同組合、ゼネコン間での交渉は続いていて、ストは長期戦も否めない状況にある。 *写真はBSジャパンニュースより 関生支部サイト
