Unfairly dismissed tour conductor reinstated




SHIOTA Takuji, the president of the Hankyu Travel Support (HTS) Local of the National Union of General Workers Tokyo Tobu, returned to work on September 10, 2013. Shiota struggled for the withdrawal of his dismissal for more than four years, and his reinstatement was confirmed after a victorious settlement of this case at the Tokyo High Court. His first assignment after the reinstatement as a tour conductor was a 10-day tour to Turkey. His reinstatement is very significant in the sense that such a worker in a vulnerable temporary position as him succeeded in returning to work when the Japanese Government attempts to ease restrictions on firing workers. We are confident that a trade union can overcome unfair practices of companies. Your support to our struggle is highly appreciated! (Sugano)

Dismissed tour conductor SHIOTA Takuji reinstated!


SHIOTA Takuji, the president of the Hankyu Travel Support (HTS) Local of the National Union of General Workers' Tokyo Tobu, was finally reinstated on May 10. Mr. Shiota, a tour conductor belonging to HTS, had struggled for the withdrawal of his dismissal for four years. HTS had refused to assign a job to him as Shiota formed the local in January 2007 together with other tour conductors. Despite the fact that they were virtually employed on a full-time basis, they were obliged to work under dismal working conditions. They were not eligible for unemployment insurance, social insurance or paid holiday leave on the basis of a spot labor contract. (Sugano, National Union of General Workers' Tokyo Tobu)
