<DIV><FONT face=Century><FONT size=3><STRONG>(2) Mr. Yoshida of AKK
presented a case to the court.<BR></STRONG></FONT>Mr. Yoshida of Aisin Kiko
Co.Ltd (AKK) took the claim for damages in the Nagoya District Court on 24th.
Mr. Yoshida's trial turned into two trials, "claim for cancellation of decision
not to pay industrial injury insurance for him" against the country government,
and "claim for withdrawal of dismissal" to a company.<BR>The reason of the claim
is that the defendant discharged the plaintiff on November 5, 2011, for natural
retirement treatment noting that the leave-of-absence period completed, although
the plaintiff was still receiving medical treatment due to injury during
working. This lawsuit is to request for decision of invalidity of the above
mentioned dismissal, and asking for recognition of the status as workers of a
plaintiff, requesting for the payment of reparations for default on an
obligation and illegal behaviors.<BR>After submitting a complaint, we had an
interview with supporters at the judicial club. <BR>A representative lawyer Mr.
Nakatani, explained about the lawsuit. And Mr. Wakatsuki, chairman of the All
Toyota labor unions (ATU) appealed that they tried to solve the problem through
collective bargaining, but defendant side became stubborn and did not show the
posture to respond, so it resulted in this circumstances. <BR>Finally, plaintiff
Mr. Yoshida mentioned his wish that he wants to win in the trial, and return to
the work place for his friends, because he has a lot of things to do
there.</FONT></DIV>
