The Supreme Court turned down appeals and petitions for acceptance of
appeals from cabin attendants and pilots dismissed by Japan Airlines in the end
of 2010 during the reconstruction of the Japanese flagship carrier. The cases
of cabin attendants and pilots were dealt with by different benches of the top
court, but the plaintiffs were informed of the decisions around the same time
by documents dated Feb. 4 and 5 respectively. The decisions were made in less
than four months after the court received the documents for the case of cabin
attendants and less than three months since those for the pilots’ case were received. The
judges unanimously reached the conclusion to turn down both appeals within such
short periods of time. They did not even bother to wait and examine additional
documents that the plaintiffs’ councils were preparing despite the lawyers’ advance notice. How can one believe that the judges had examined
the documents before making decisions?
They refused to make their own judgments in these unprecedented cases
that argued the legitimacy of dismissals while the company is being reorganized
under the Corporate Rehabilitation Act without carefully examining the plaintiffs’ arguments. The decisions by the Supreme Court have, in
essence, given the managements of companies in the reconstruction process a
free hand to dismiss their employees without due justifications. The plaintiffs
and the lawyers representing them held a press conference on Feb. 6. (By YUNOKI Yasuko, secretary general of the
supporters group of JAL dismissal cases)
