Appeal of spring fight SNS appeal rally Canceled rally with new virus February 21 6:37

In this spring fight, the coalition decided to stop large-scale gatherings to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, and decided to use SNS to appeal the importance of raising wages in a different way.

The Kotoshin Spring Fight has virtually started last month, and labor-management negotiations are underway to see how much momentum for wage increases can be maintained and how Japanese-style employment, such as seniority-based wages, should be.

However, as the outbreak of the new coronavirus spreads, the Federation has decided to cancel the large-scale rally scheduled to be held in Tokyo on March 3, when negotiations are closing.

For the time being, we are considering canceling or postponing meetings and events scheduled for the end of next month in various parts of the country.

The uncertainty about the future of the world economy is increasing due to the spread of the new coronavirus, but the coalition has said that it is necessary to make the public widely aware of the importance of raising wages and the problem of correcting inequality, mainly in Tokyo. We decided to carry out an appealing activity and to do an unprecedented effort to distribute the situation on SNS.

"The spring fight is not limited to labor negotiations at some companies, but it does not spread to the world. We want to find more ways to do so than before."
