Tokyo High Court handed down rulings on June 3 and
5 on appeals filed by Japan Airlines' flight attendants and pilots who were
unfairly dismissed in 2010. The lower court's decisions that affirmed the
dismissal of 165 workers were upheld. Several hundred supporters gathered in
front of the court house on June 3 to hear the ruling for 71 flight attendants.
Many of them could not help sighing in disappointment as the sign of “unfair
ruling” was displayed, but they soon started chanting to show their anger. “There's no justice in this country!? I have
no words to express the indignation I now feel. The ruling seems to have given
unconditional support to the logic of business and ignored the rights of
workers who actually sustain the society. With courts like this, there is no
future for workers in Japan,” said one of the plaintiffs bitterly. YAMAGUCHI
Hiroya, the leader of the pilots group, denounced the ruling by saying that
Tokyo High Court had reduced itself to a machinery to implement the policy of
the current administration to make Japan 'the country that provides the most
favorable environment for businesses.' UCHIDA Taeko, the leader of the flight
attendants group told supporters that they would bring the case to the supreme
court and asked for continued support. The ruling for the pilots was given in
the afternoon of June 5, the day when a number of morning flights of the
airline happened to be canceled due to computer system troubles. Lawyer IMAMURA
Kojiro said that the judges had provably made the decision in the beginning.
“In the hearings, we verified in details that the dismissal was unnecessary for
the reconstruction of the company, but the ruling addressed none of the points
we argued in the court,” he said. Uchida
commented on the ruling for the pilots with an outrage. “The management placed
priority on profits and viewed safety as unimportant. This resulted in the
dismissal of many highly experienced pilots and cabin crew and eventually
threatens the safety of the flights at present. Today's ruling by the high
court that affirms the shameful policy
will only exacerbate the present situation. We will never forgive the two
presiding judges.” (By M)

「日航の安全無視に加担した東京高裁」～JAL整理解雇 パイロットも不当判決
6 月5日朝か ら、システム障害発生し欠航が相次ぐ日本航空。そんななか午後1時半から東京高裁第24民事部（三輪和雄裁判長）で、165人のJAL整理解雇事件・パイ ロットの控訴審判決があった。内容は、2日前の客室乗務員と同じく「控訴棄却」の不当判決だった。今村幸次郎弁護士は「解雇が必要なかったことを詳細に立 証し たが、それについて一言もアンサーがなかった」と結論ありき判決を批判した。客室乗務員原告団長の内田妙子さんは「いま日航の安全運航が脅かされている。 これは日航の利益追求・安全軽視。ベテランをどんどん切っていった結果だ。高裁判決は、そんなJALのやり方に加担し、さらに進めるものだ。大竹たか し、三輪和雄の二人の裁判長は許せない！」と体を震わせて訴えた。（M）
