<DIV><FONT face=Century size=3>For all member of APWSL in each country. <BR>I
wish to express my gratitude for messages of encouragement and unity to APWSL
Japan about the earthquake on March 11.<BR>East Japan, damaged area is supplying
area of not only food, electric power, but also manpower to the metropolitan
area that centers on Tokyo.<BR>There were labor union members and an activists
among a lot of residents struck at the earthquake. It is said that a lot of
families of the workers from East Japan working at the metropolitan area were
struck. The support service to the stricken area including such workers is being
promoted in the metropolitan area. It is necessary to demonstrate the worker's
unity and support particularly at time like this. <BR>In the support activities
on which all labor union in Tokyo are promoting, the track fully loaded with
goods sent from the whole country were promptly sent to the damaged area. It is
done continuously still now. <BR>Labor movement magazine "Labor information"
started support donation activity together with providing information of damaged
area, and the first portion was sent through "Tohoku labor union unity". APWSL
Japan is also introducing articles on overseas media. <BR>There is a group,
which has been warning of danger of nuclear power generation for many years, and
continued the movement, theory establishment, and document introducing. It is
"Dandelion House( Tampopo sha )" of Tokyo. Volume and quality of information
sent out from there far surpass those of the report by mass media, needless to
say of the announcement by the government and by Tokyo Electric Power Company.
<BR>We introduced three support activities above. <BR>Even though it is not
systematical, continuance yet now, rescue fund, goods, and messages are being
sent from this Aichi Prefecture by individuals or small groups through these
groups. <BR>And, auto manufacturers such as Toyota, Nissan, and Honda and a lot
of parts suppliers also suffered from big shock and their factories are still
stopping or decreasing production. It has brought a severer situation to not
only the regular workers but also the non-regular workers. <BR>So, ATU Chairman
Mr. Wakatsuki proposed the following contents to Mr. Akio Toyoda, president of
Toyota Motor. <BR>Toyota Motor and the group companies<BR>(1) must
guarantee constant works to the subcontract companies, and compensate for the
decrease. <BR>(2) do not do regular worker's dismissal and not to stop
renewal of non-regular worker's employment. <BR>(3) do not allow the
subcontract enterprise to dismiss the worker. Toyota must guarantee payment for
them. <BR>(4) do not deteriorate the working condition of workers of the
companies. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Century size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Century size=3>With these demands, ATU declared struggle against
Toyota to achieve the above-mentioned demand uniting with the union in the
region where a regular and non-regular worker of a small and medium-sized small
business were organized. <BR>We think that such a difficult situation will
continue long, and the road to the reproduction should not be only to the
situation before the earthquake. We should not pursue economic growth
wholly-devoted of richness. It is necessary to review the energy policy of
relying on nuclear power generation. <BR>We noticed again the importance of
bonds with the neighbor countries, neighbors, and working people with each
other.<BR>I think that it is necessary to make new value and social images on
such bases, and the discussion about the way of new Japan will starts. <BR>The
issue changed a usual editorial policy considering the earthquake now. (April
