I want to clear my name! An appeal court for the Anti Restructuring Union in Fuji Sankei starts
“A company which ignores fabrication of reports dismisses a worker for forming a union. This is outrageous and in-excusable!” Hiroshi Matsuzawa, the President of the Union Against Restructuring in the Fuji-Sankei Communication Group, raised his voice in front of the Tokyo High Court on February 8. Matsuzawa set up an independent union in January 1994 to oppose the yellow union at Nikkan Kogyo Shinbun (Business & Technology Daily News), one of the Fuji-Sankei group companies and was dismissed as a disciplinary measure. He has been fighting unsuccessfully for 17 years in the Labor Commission and the courts. This was the first hearing of the appeal court. A robot showed up for the support, gathering much attention and Matsuzawa made the opening statement in tears saying, “I want to clear my name for the sake of my infant children.” (M)
汚名を晴らしたい!~反リストラ産経労事件、控訴審はじまる
「記事のねつ造があっても、全く不問に付して何の処分もしない会社が、組合をつくったということだけで“懲戒解雇”。こんなバカなことは絶対に認められない」。反リストラ産経労の松沢弘委員長は、2月8日午後、東京高裁前でマイクを握り声を張り上げた(写真)。松沢さんは、1994年1月にフジサンケイグループの日本工業新聞社で労使癒着の産経労組に異を唱え、新組合(反リストラ産経労)を立ち上げたが“懲戒解雇”された。その撤回を求めて17年間の争議。しかし労働委員会・地裁では敗訴し、この日は「起死回生」を賭けた控訴審初日だった。支援のロボット人形も登場して注目を集めるなか、法廷で松沢さんは「幼い子供のためにも汚名を晴らしたい」と涙の冒頭陳述を行った。(M) 動画(UnionTube) ・写真(ロボットがビラまき)・反リストラ産経労HP
