200 Day Laborers, Workers Demand Jobs at Rally Amid Extreme Protection
Day laborers, who most often end up working to settle Fukushima disaster and in the highly contaminated environment, gathered at a park in Tokyo’s Taito Ward on Jan. 9. In demand for jobs, some 200 workers came together from Shibuya, Tama and other districts of Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya and Osaka. “No one wants to work at nuclear plants,” said one of the members from All Japan Coalition of Day Laborers (Hiyatoi Rodosha Zenkoku Kyogikai) “Everyone who is working at nuclear plants have no choice but to risk their lives.” The annual rally held since 1980s is a tribute to the two video activists who were killed by an organized crime syndicate. The movie, “Yama, Yararetara Yarikaese,” depicts a serious conflict between day laborers and job distributors. (By Chie Matsumoto) Photo: Riot police are mysteriously wearing face masks.
日雇い労働者200人が「仕事よこせ!」と集会~異常な警備に驚く
福島原子力発電所での事故処理のために、多くの仲間が線量管理下で働く日雇い労働者たちが1月9日、東京の山谷地区として知られる台東区清川にある公園に集まった。この日雇全協反失業総決起集会には、渋谷や多摩地区、寿、名古屋、釜ヶ崎と全国からおよそ200名が結集し「仕事をよこせ!」と訴えた。山谷の日雇全協メンバーからは「原発で働きたくて働いている仲間はいない。みんな必要にかられて命削って働いているんだ」との発言があった。この集会は毎年この時期に行われ、26、7年前に暴力団に虐殺された映像活動家たちの弔いとなっている。映画『山谷(やま) やられたらやりかえせ』は、日雇い労働者と手配師との闘いを描いた作品として広く知られている。(松元ちえ) *写真=なぜか全員マスク姿の機動隊
