labor course</FONT></STRONG><BR>The labor course sponsored by ATU・瘢雹S was held on
September 18. <BR>On this day, we heard the story by the woman who was "The
manager of the fifth subcontract" of Toyota until recently. Toyota accomplished
V shaped recovery recently, even though it dropped the achievement due to Lehman
shock and the recall problem. But it is said that a thorough unit price cutting
down was done to the subcontract enterprise in the end, and a lot of small
business were driven in to giving up business and the bankruptcy including this
female manager's company. She told how severe the cost cutting of Toyota based
on materials about the unit price.</FONT></DIV>

reinstatement of Mr. Y, ATU union member and a worker of Aisin Kiko Co., Ltd.,

dismissal by expiration of permitted period for leave-taking.</FONT></DIV>
