“Discrimination” in business daily reports, etc. Compensation for the company side Osaka District Court Sakai Branch July 2, 18:46
A female Korean employee of a housing company in Osaka, which is listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, complained that she was suffering mentally after being repeatedly handed out a document containing words that discriminate against race and ethnicity. At the trial, the Osaka District Court Sakai branch ordered the company to pay 1.1 million yen, saying that it was illegal and exceeded the socially acceptable limit.
About eight years ago, the trial was described as "I hate the national character of China and South Korea," or "Korean people lie to the public," at a housing company headquartered in Osaka Kishiwada City. For example, a Korean woman living in Japan in her 50s who was a part-time employee suffered mental distress in response to the repeated distribution of daily work reports under the name of the chairman, and requested compensation of 33 million yen. ..
At the trial, the company argued that "it is not a discriminatory expression of opinion or commentary."
In a ruling on the 2nd, the presiding judge Kenji Nakagakiuchi of the Sakai Branch of the Osaka District Court decided that it was an expression that encouraged discrimination against race and ethnic groups, and said, ``Personality benefits as a worker who is not discriminated against by nationality. It is illegal and exceeds the socially permissible limit," and pointed the company to 1.1 million yen in compensation.
A plaintiff woman, who met after the decision, said, "It was good that the decision was made to get rid of the pain in my heart. I want the company to change."
FUJI HOUSE "A judgment that is difficult to accept"
Fuji Housing, on the other hand, commented, "From the perspective of the discretion of employee education in companies and the freedom of speech of managers, it is a decision that is difficult to accept.
