GU members file lawsuit against Osaka University demanding unlimited employment
GU members working at Handai are not going to allow this to continue, and with the backing of their union and solidarity of all members, will take on this national university...
GENERAL UNION
Two General Union members who have been working at Osaka University (Handai) continuously for fifteen years filed a lawsuit against the university on 31 August. The basic demand in the suit is that the university accept their application for unlimited term contracts (UTC) that they filed during the 2021 academic year.
This application, had it been accepted, would have given both members an unlimited starting from 1 April 2022 thus protecting their employment against the possible job losses that might be come in 2023 as Handai demands part timers re-apply for their current teaching posts.
