On March 26th, the nine years
struggle of HIROSE Akemini ended with an ex-officio settlement at the Tokyo
High Court. Hirose had been employed by a temp agency named “Staff Service” and
worked at the Japan Red Cross Blood Center. But she alleged that she was forced
to do jobs other than those designated by the temp
contract. She demanded direct employment with the Red Cross but was finally
dismissed in 2009. When she took her case to the Tokyo District Court she
failed to win reinstatement, although the court ruled that the temping contract
was illegal. Her case was pending at the Tokyo High Court, but the Red Cross
and the temporary agency finally agreed to compensate her and settle the case.
Hirose held a news conference on April 1st, expressing her thanks for
the support she received during the nine years struggle.

Listen to the voices of casual workers! 220 people say no to revision of Temp Agency Law
On April 18th, the Nation Committee to Establish the Rights of Casual Workers, Labor Lawyers Association and its Tokyo Chapter held a meeting in the Diet building to say no to the revision of the Temp Agency Law. . The venue was changed to a bigger room to accommodate the 220 participants. The highlight of the meeting was the appeal from 9 casual workers. One of them, HIROSE Akemi, a plaintiff of the Japan Red-cross Staff Service case, said holding a banner, “I want to make my serious case public and share it with everyone.” Everyone in the audience was convinced that the law cannot be changed without listening to the urgent voices of the casual workers, whose lives are going to be affected by the law.

当事者たちの切実な叫びを聞け!~労働者派遣法「大改悪」反対集会に220人
当事者たちの切実な叫びを無視し、彼女、彼らの、そして私たちの人生に関わる法律を変えることなど許されるはずがない。一人ひとりが、そう確信する場になった。4月18日、国会内で、労働者派遣法“大改悪”に反対!の声をあげるつどいが開かれた。主催したのは非正規労働者の権利実現全国会議、日本労働弁護団、同東京支部。会場は、当初予定していた100人の部屋から大会議室に変更され、220人の熱気で埋まった。圧巻は9人の当事者たちの訴えだった。判決 を4月23日に控える日赤・スタッフサービス事件原告の廣瀬明美さん(写真)は、横断幕を広げ、「深刻な問題を一般化し、みんなの問題にしたい」と語った。(北健一)
