In this year's spring campaign, the labor unions of three major steel companies that are members of the Japan Federation of Labor Workers' Unions have compiled a policy proposal calling for a wage increase of 30,000 yen per month, the highest level in approximately 50 years, equivalent to the base increase.
On the 5th, industry-specific labor unions such as steel, heavy industry, and shipbuilding, as well as the Japan Federation of Labor Workers' Unions, held a press conference to explain a proposed policy calling for a wage increase of at least 12,000 yen per month, equivalent to the base increase in this year's spring labor movement.
The labor unions of three major steel companies, Nippon Steel, JFE Steel, and Kobe Steel, have compiled a policy proposal calling for a monthly wage increase of 30,000 yen, equivalent to the base increase.
This demand is the highest level in about 50 years since 1975, when prices rose due to the oil crisis.
Additionally
, labor unions at major heavy industry companies such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and IHI are seeking a monthly wage increase of 18,000 yen,
and labor unions at major non-ferrous metal companies such as Mitsubishi Materials are seeking a 15,000 yen monthly wage increase.
Masao Tsumura, Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Japan Federation of Key Workers' Unions, said, ``We have asked each of them to consider what kind of demands they should make from the perspective of rising prices and continued wage improvements.'' I want to make a statement," he said.
