East Japan Earthquake, nuclear power plant disaster, and workers’ unity 8

For all member of APWSL in each country.
In Tohoku , the stricken area, the severe winter season will come around 
soon. The support by workers and labor unions to the stricken area continue. 
As for support goods, stoves, blankets, disposable pocket stoves, hot water 
bottles (Japanese heating instrument from ancient times which puts hot water 
into a vessel, wraps in a towel etc., and warms a leg), etc. were sent.
Moreover, it is a political issue whether Japan participates in TPP or not. 
The farmers and fishermen of the stricken area oppose to TPP participation. 
They say, if Japan participates to TPP, it became the 2nd and 3rd big 
earthquake and tidal wave following an earthquake disaster, and it is what 
troubles themselves.

and former seasonal worker Mr. Takahira. It is a workmen's accident caused 
from neglecting Mr. Takahira’s too heavy actual labor condition from the

conditional causal relationship and no considerable causal relationship"
