No More Tolerating of Massive Dismissals of "Non-Regular Workers"! -- Postal Workers Union going out on a full-day strike


On September 18, the Postal Workers Union went out on a full-day strike at three strongholds of the union chapters in the Kanto district. Among them, the Funabashi Branch of Japan Post Service Chiba attracted a total of more than 100 union members and supporters from early in the morning as they held the strike declaration rally (see the photo), virtually conquering the area in front of the main gate for more than two hours. The rally was conducted by overwhelming a team of ten plus company officials coming out for surveillance. Our strike this time was aimed at stopping massive dismissals of non-regular postal workers and drastically disadvantageous changes of the working condition that might accompany the integration of postal and door-to-door delivery services initially scheduled on October 1. We are determined to continue this struggle against firing of "non-regular workers" in the postal operations. (S at Postal Workers Union)


大量の「非正規切り」を許さない!~郵政ユニオンが全日ストライキ

郵政労働者ユニオンは9月18日、関東3拠点支部にて全日ストライキを打ち抜きました。その中でも、スト突入集会を開催した日本郵便千葉船橋支店前(写真)には、早朝より支援者含めて延べ100名以上の仲間が駆けつけ、2時間以上にわたってほぼ正門前を制圧。監視に出てきた職制約10余名を圧倒し、スト突入集会を貫徹しました。今回の私たちのストライキは、10月1日に予定されていた郵便宅配事業統合に絡む、郵政非正規労働者の大量雇い止め、及び労働条件の著しい不利益変更に対し、これを止めさせるための行動でした。今後も私たちはこの郵政「非正規切り」を許さない闘いを続行していく覚悟です。(郵政ユニオン・S)
