Deterioration in employment situation Telephone consultation for labor Suspension of employment with new corona Osaka June 7 12:25

While the employment situation is deteriorating due to the new coronavirus, free telephone counseling is held in Osaka to accept the worries of those who work for non-regular employment.

The telephone union is open to the labor union in Osaka, and three staff members are available.

In the morning, a contract employee working at a department store gave me a consultation that he was unable to extend his employment contract and had been suspended at the end of last month, and he advised us on procedures such as unemployment benefits.

In addition, there are many consultations regarding wages and working environment such as "The company does not pay enough allowance during holidays" and "I was forced to work shorter hours".

The union says that if the depressed economy does not recover, there will be more dismissal and suspension of employment, especially for non-regular employees such as temporary staff.

Naoto Ohashi, general secretary of the Kansai General Branch of the All Japan Construction Transport Solidarity Trade Union, said, "I would like you to consult without hesitating alone."

Telephone consultation is accepted until 7:00 pm on the 7th, and the telephone number is 06-6881-0110.
