    Campaign

    On 17th November 2004 the International Labor Organization (ILO) approved the recommendations regarding violation of trade union rights by Japanese government (Case 2304). ILO recognizes that actions by the police and judicial authorities are undue and violation of trade union rights, and requests the government to secure trade union rights

    We claim that the Japanese government should implement the ILO Recommendations
