Twice Aichi Pref Uni Has Backed Down Against the GU
The General Union demands that APU raise the per koma rate for Japanese non-regular workers to the pre-2021 foreign non-regular workers rate and abandons the 2021 pay cut for foreign non-regular workers.
GENERAL UNION
Now it’s Time to Overturn the 20% Pay Cut & Win a Big Pay Rise for Japanese non-regular workers
Both Japanese and foreign non-regular workers at Aichi Prefectural University have something big in common: Twenty percent (or one-fifth) of your per-koma pay is what binds you together.
APU hopes that that they can use nationality to divide you and keep wages low, our union wants to get you together to improve your working life!
FIRST, OUR VICTORIES AT APU.
Last year five General Union members, all non-regular workers at APU applied for an unlimited term contract.
The university first refused stating that they were not eligible until they worked 10 years, but in no time at all, after the union’s intervention, they backed down and granted the unlimited term contracts.
Next, and what affects current non-regular workers right now, was the matter of the 20% pay cut. Our members with unlimited term contracts DID not have a 20% pay cut.
The union argued that the law forbids the worsening of working conditions at the conversion to the unlimited term contract.
First the university refused our logic, and then almost immediately backed down.
