            Revised Worker Dispatch Law was enforced
>From October 1, revised Worker Dispatch Law was enforced. The purpose of 
revision of this law is to reinforce proper management of worker dispatch, 
temporary worker's protection, etc. with Employment Security Act, and to 
contribute in stabilization of temporary workers’ employment, and 
improvement of other welfare.
Those are to say, prohibition of daily-hire dispatch in principle, 
regulation on dispatch between group companies, clear disclosure of dispatch 
charge, obligation to consider about balance with workers in accepting 
company, etc. So, it is necessary to pay attention whether the contents of 
revision are actually carried out promptly, a person involved in a union 
said.

Motor, was opened in the Nagoya District Court on 30th. This trial is the 
lawsuit which confirm that he is an employee of AKK (status preservation 
trial). It is different from a lawsuit to request cancellation of decision

These two lawsuits are simultaneously advanced from the 5th trial of the 
workmen's-accident authorization trial.
