As the effects of the new coronavirus continue, telephone consultations are being held nationwide from the 24th to respond to consultations such as "dismissal" and "stop hiring," which may increase before the end of the fiscal year.
This telephone consultation is provided by the labor organization "Union", and at the office of "Union Tokyo" in Minato-ku, Tokyo, six persons in charge who are familiar with labor issues are available for consultation.
A series of phone calls started at 10 am, and a woman in her thirties who had worked as a part-time employee for three years at a restaurant said, "The store I worked for last month closed and the contract for three months was not renewed. I lost my job. I don't know what to do. "
The person in charge of the "Union" advised, "If the company notifies you of" stopping hiring "just before the store closes, it may be illegal, so please check the contract."
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the number of people who lost their jobs due to "dismissal" or "stop hiring" due to the effects of the new coronavirus is more than 88,000 as of the 22nd, including the prospect.
Chiaki Saito, Executive Director of the Union Tokyo, said, "There is a risk that many jobs will be lost toward the end of the contract renewal. Please do not worry alone."
This telephone consultation is available from 10 am to 7 pm for two days on the 24th and 25th, and the telephone number is toll-free 0120-154-052.
We also accept consultations via email or the communication app "LINE".
