The labor union of Jetstar Japan, a low-cost carrier (LCC), has decided to postpone the strike after being told by the company that disciplinary action will be taken against participants who do not notify the scale and duration of the strike at least 48 hours in advance. I made it clear. The union claims this is a violation of the Labor Union Act, while the company says it needs to minimize the impact as a public transportation system.
Jetstar Japan's labor union, the Jetstar Crew Association, held a press conference in Tokyo on the 29th.
According to the labor union, the company notified the union's executive committee members that they would be going on strike from the 29th without telling them how many people would be taking part in the dismissal, arguing that the dismissal was unfair. Participants in the strike who did not give notice of the period were informed in writing that disciplinary action would be considered.
Regarding this, Akihiko Ikohagi, executive committee member of the labor union, who held a press conference, said, ``More than half of the union members did not participate after being informed that disciplinary action would be considered.This is a violation of the Labor Union Act and is a clear violation of the union. "It's a control intervention."
One company stated, ``As a public transportation system, we need to minimize the impact. Strikes without 48 hours' advance notice of the number of participants are unjustified and will not be tolerated.''
The labor union held a strike from December 22 last year to January 1 this year.In that case, if 15 or more people are participating, the strike must be completed 48 hours in advance, and if there are 14 or fewer people, the strike must be completed the day before. The company was given advance notice before 6 p.m.
There is a disagreement between the union and the company as to whether such a notice should be given during this strike as well.
