Alliance “Stay on pay increase in spring fight” Review of “Japanese-style employment” is negative January 22 14:18
Prior to the spring fight, the chairman of the coalition, Kozu, held a press conference, and expressed his intention to negotiate with a focus on raising wages.
The Union plans to require a wage increase of about 2% in the spring struggle, equivalent to a "base-up" to raise the base salary.
On the other hand, Keidanren announced management's guideline on Wednesday and showed a positive attitude toward wage increases, but it should consider a method of allocating according to the work content and results rather than all employees uniformly. And
Mr Kozu commented on this, "We should no longer reflect the fact that employees are no longer raising wages and that this is creating disparities. It will be misleading without it. "
He also stated that Keidanren has called for a review of the Japanese-style employment system, such as collective recruitment of new graduates and lifetime employment. The good part is missing. "
He said, "It is the job of the union to negotiate paying attention and seek improvements, including the way we work, and we want to make a spring fight for all workers."
The spring fight has effectively started on 28th of this month, and the union member unions will submit their respective requests to management by the end of next month.
