JRU
members distributed more than 40.000 leaflets at over 120 railway
stations in the commuter time in the morning and evening on March 7
2005. In the
leaflets we appeal for "Safety First", "No deregulation" and "Workers'
Solidarity". JR-Tokai Union and JR-West
Union, affiliated to JRU, made an appeal to the public against
deterioration of wage system and working conditions. Some of our
affiliate unions made their own banners and their own leaflets.
Passers-by called out to us, "Thank you on such a cold morning." We also
appealed to taxi drivers and dock laborers working near the stations to
fight together against deregulation. Now in Japan we are in the midst of
annual spring labor offensive. Today's Action Day will lead to the
success of our struggle. Fight for workers' solidarity! |
