On the questionnaire surveyed by Osaka City in 2012 about the activities of labor unions etc for all staff members, the 2nd Tokyo Bar Association announced on November 17 that the lawyer Shuya Nomura, who was responsible for conducting the investigation, said, "Basic human rights of staff I infringed on the law, "he took disciplinary action for a one-month suspension. Mr. Nomura revealed his intention to appeal to the Japan Federation of Bar Associations on the same day.
Mr. Nomura became a special adviser to the city from January 12 under Mayor Hashimoto Toru, then served as a third-party investigation team investigating staff scandals. As a part of the survey, we conducted a questionnaire asking all staff members whether they are participating in politics and election activities.
The Bar Association noted on the questionnaire about the content of violating the constitution and labor union law, such as the right to organize staff, privacy rights, infringement of freedom of political activities, etc. Considering the question items and the implementation method, I concluded that it infringes basic human rights and is a lawyer's "delinquency to lose quality".
On the same day, Mr. Nomura said, "We take the facts (subject to disposal) solemnly," while "I happened in the process of investigating the interior of the power station called the City Hall, and did not infringe the rights of citizens" I made a comment. (Komatsu Ryujiro)
