Regarding the collective bargaining that 50 former members of the former Unification Church are seeking a refund of more than 1.6 billion yen, including donations paid in the past, the lawyers of the former members held a press conference, and the church said, "After investigating the facts. , We will respond individually."
Last month, the National Unification Church Damage Countermeasures Defense Team, which is made up of more than 300 lawyers nationwide, had 50 former members, including former members, complaining that they were forced to make donations and purchase goods due to anxiety. I sent a notice asking for a total of more than 1.6 billion yen to be paid, including donations and compensation, and requested collective bargaining.
The defense team held a conference on the 6th, saying that there was a reply from the cult to this.
The response dated 2nd of this month is that "the specific facts are unknown, and we cannot respond to collective bargaining on the premise of unilaterally accepting the defense team's allegations."
In addition, it claims that there are a considerable number of people who have exceeded the 20-year disqualification period, which eliminates the right to seek compensation. I replied that I would take action.
Attorney Susumu Murakoshi, who is the head of the defense team, said, ``The cult repeatedly said at a press conference held last year that they would respond to complaints of damage with all sincerity. I was.
The lawyers have decided to send another notice asking them to respond to collective bargaining, and will consider a lawsuit if negotiations do not resolve the matter.
