Saying “No” to the Shaming of Union Members ～ Tokyo Labor Relations Commission Orders Labor Union Victory in “Arisan Mark no Hikkoshisha” Dispute

 

On August 23^rd, the Tokyo Metropolitan Labor Relations Commission issued an order against the moving company Arisan Mark no Hikkoshisha, known for its ant logo, to resolve its “unfair labor practices” over allegations that the company reassigned a union member to paper-shredding job and put up photo of the member who was punitively dismissed for engaging in union activities. The order was a sweeping victory in favor of the union, in which the Labor Relations Commission, with clarity and detail, ruled the company’s practices illegal. While in the past the commission has ordered companies to issue a statement of apology, it is extremely rare for the commission to demand that the company include the statement in its in-house newsletter and send it to all of its employees. Using the commission’s ruling as leverage to resolve the ongoing class action lawsuit, we will continue the fight to change the core of the company that has become infamous for thrusting the costs incurred from damaged goods onto its workers, who call them “antlion’s death trap” for the high price. We hope that you will continue to support us and tell the company to abide by the commission’s ruling. (SHIMIZU Naoko, Precariat Union.)

シュレッダー係配転はダメ！～「アリさんマークの引越社」都労委が組合勝利命令

アリさんマークの引越社の不当労働行為問題（組合員をシュレッダー係の業務に就かせたことなど、罪状ペーパーを貼りだしたことなど）に関する東京都労働委員会の不当労働行為救済命令が、8月23日、交付されました。完全勝利命令でした。明確に詳細に会社の不当労働行為問題が違法と認定されました。謝罪文の掲示を命じることはあっても、反省文を社内報に掲載し、全従業員の自宅に送付することを命じる不当労働行為救済命令は非常に珍しいです。これをテコに集団訴訟全面解決を実現し、アリ地獄と呼ばれるほどの弁償を社員に強いるような会社の体質を改めていきます。引き続きご支援のほど、お願いいたします。ぜひ会社に「都労委命令を守れ」とお伝えください。（プレカリアートユニオン・清水直子）
