On October 7, the union of a machine maker submitted a request for management to raise wages by 3,000 yen per month to the management side, and labor negotiations began in earnest.
Among these, the union of Kobe Heavy Industries in Kobe City has submitted a request to the management to raise monthly wages by 3,000 yen next year.
In this statement, Keio Hamada, the chairman of the labor union, said, "The outlook for business results for the current fiscal year is increasing, and efforts are being made by members."
In response, Kenta Tomita, vice president, responded, "Basically, the business environment will continue to be severe. We would like to carefully consider the social situation."
Again, the unions of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and IHI are also demanding a wage increase of 3,000 yen, but in both cases the required level is lower than the previous year by 500 yen.
As the uncertainty about the future of the global economy is increasing due to the spread of the new coronavirus, etc., Koharu's spring fight is focusing on how much the momentum of wage increase can be maintained and how Japanese-type employment such as seniority-based wages should be You.
Next week, unions such as automobiles and electric appliances will also submit a request, and negotiations will start in earnest toward the intensive response date in the middle of next month.
