In response to the Cabinet approval of a bill to revise the Immigration Control Act, which includes the establishment of a new ``developmental employment system'', a group of lawyers working on this issue held a press conference and stated that ``The Immigration Control Act has become a hotbed for human rights violations''. "It will essentially continue the technical intern training system," he said in a statement opposing the move.
The government decided at a cabinet meeting on the 15th to amend the Immigration Control Act, which aims to abolish the technical intern training system and establish a new ``developmental employment system,'' and aims to enact it during the current Diet session.
In line with this, a group formed by lawyers who work on issues related to the technical intern training system held a press conference and opposed the bill, saying, ``This is a ``technical intern training system continuation bill'' that will essentially continue the technical intern training system, which is a hotbed of human rights violations.'' We have released a statement.
Specifically, regarding the new system's ability to transfer to another company, which was previously not possible in principle, he said, ``At first glance, it appears that the restrictions on transfer are being relaxed, but in the most severe cases, There are strict restrictions in place, such as working at the same host organization for more than two years and requiring Japanese language proficiency."
They also view it as a problem because it is still allowed to collect fees from foreign workers when sending them to Japan.
At the press conference, lawyer Shoichi Ibusuki said, ``What is required is to overcome the problems with the technical intern training system.The new system is just replacing the signboards, and I firmly oppose it.''
