At this year's spring struggle, labor unions such as automobile manufacturers submitted a request to management all at once on the 15th.
All labor unions are demanding significant wage increases, including the highest level in the past 20 years by the Toyota Motor Corporation union, and the focus will be on whether wage increases that match the record price rise will be realized.
Among them, at the head office of NHK, an auto parts manufacturer in Yokohama, Tetsuya Sato, chairman of the labor union's central executive committee, handed over a written demand to the management side, and the monthly salary increased by 4,100 yen compared to last year, including a pay rise1. I asked for a wage increase of 2,000 yen.
Vice President Toru Sugiyama, who received the request, said, "I would like to take the wishes of the union members firmly and respond."
The labor unions of major automakers are demanding a monthly wage increase of 9,370 yen, the highest for Toyota Motor Corporation, the highest level in the past 20 years for all employees, including non-regular workers.
Honda's labor union is demanding a monthly wage increase of 19,000 yen, the highest level in 30 years, while Nissan's labor union is demanding a monthly wage increase of 12,000 yen, the highest level since the introduction of the current wage system in fiscal 2005. I'm here.
In the automobile industry, in addition to the fierce competition in the development of EVs (electric vehicles) around the world, responding to soaring raw material prices and shortages of semiconductors has become a management issue. The focus is on getting it done.
In this year's spring labor union, labor unions such as major electronics companies will submit a request on the 16th, and negotiations will be in full swing toward the intensive response date in the middle of next month.
