The decision of the second instance will be divided according to the allowance and the type of vacation, and it is expected that a unified judgment will be shown.
In a court case that appealed to Japan Post that contract employees who carry out operations such as delivery and collection at post offices in various places are doing the same work as regular employees, but it is unreasonable that there is a difference in treatment such as allowances and vacation The Tokyo High Court, the Osaka High Court, and the Fukuoka High Court all ruled that the cases were unlawful due to irrational disparities.
However, depending on the type of allowance and vacation, such as
summer and winter vacations,
sick leave,
and the year-end and New Year allowances during the busy season , it was judged whether the treatment gap was illegal.
Attorney Yamaguchi, Chief Justice of the First Small Court of the Supreme Court, decided in September to open an argument to hear the claims of both parties.
