Nerima Ward Sanitation and Recycle Staff Establishes Labor Union -- Full-time and Non-regular Workers Join Hands


On May 15, sanitation and recycle officers of Tokyo's Nerima Ward established a union. The members had collected garbage and recycleable resources as temporary and dispatch workers until March last year. Although the wardoffice gave them direct employment contract in April lastyear, the contract was good only three years. To win stable employment and sufficient pay, they formed a union. Direct employment and union establishment were realized with full support from full-time employees union, Tokyo Sanitation Workers' Union Nerima Branch. This effort shows that the solidarity between full-time employees and non-regular workers can open the new door to the union movement. (By S)


練馬区清掃リサイクル指導員労働組合結成!~正規と非正規が力あわせる

 5月15日、練馬区清掃リサイクル指導員組合が結成された。組合員は昨年3月まで臨時・派遣としてごみ・資源の収集にあたっていたが、昨年4月練馬区と直接雇用関係のある非常勤職員化を勝ち取った。しかし雇用期間は最大3年間。安心して働き続けることのできる雇用・賃金・労働条件を目指して今回の組合結成となった。非常勤職員化および組合結成は、正規職員の組合である東京清掃労組練馬支部の全面的なバックアップによる。正規と非正規労働者の結合が、労働運動の新局面を切り開いている。(S)
