Stop war by workers' strike!
On June 15 and 16, the Abe Administration railroaded the war bill in the Lower House. Over 100,000 people in frontof the Parliament Building and hundreds of thousand people at numerous places all around the country protested
against this outrageous war mongering. Abe glorified the history of Japan's aggressive wars and colonial dominationin his WWII 70th Anniversary Statement. It is a declaration for constitutional revision and a fresh war. Angry voices
against the Abe Administration grow bigger and bigger.
The focus is on the labor unions.
It was the Division and Privatization of the Japan National Railways in 1987 that opened the floodgates ofneoliberalism—the source of all destruction of society and livelihoods today.

We condemn the Supreme Court's Denial of Appeal! Starts Victorious Struggle Now!
On June 30, the Supreme Court denied Doro-Chiba's appeal of Japan Railways' employment discrimination case at thetime of the Division and Privatization of JNR. This reactionary decision is made in concert with railroading of war
legislation. It is meant to destroy national railway struggle and dismantle militant labor movement at large. However,
the Court was obliged to clearly admit that the JR and the state power itself had committed thereby unfair labor
practices. We have cornered the state power! Let's start victorious national railway struggle now!

Organize Doro-Sorengo throughout the Country! Fight back Destruction of Safety andOutsourcing!
It is high time to revive militant labor unions, with national railway struggle at its helm. Doro-Chiba is determined tolaunch a strike against the brutal assaults on workers only comparable to the assaults during the Division andPrivatization of JNR, or “the second D & P.”
The scheme of the D & P has proved today to be a complete fiasco. JR Hokkaido has no measure in face of its totalcollapse of safety. JR East is in a same quandary. On April 12, a power pole of Yamanote Line—busiest cash cow of
JR East in Tokyo—fell down. On August 4, a power line of Keihin-Tohoku Line—another busiest metropolitan line—
was broken. On August 18, cables got fire near Tachikawa Station, and on and on.
These accidents of JR East are results of outsourcing and casualization of employment forced through since 1999.
Doro-Chiba, however, has been fighting back against outsourcing for 15 years and forced the company to delay its
outsourcing plan in repair and inspection jobs and driving in the yards. Now Doro-Chiba is facing with outsourcing ofdrivers' job and abolition of rural lines. Doro-Chiba will fight against “the second D & P” with strike and organizing
new members.
Doro-Mito has been striking to refuse work exposed to radiation. Doro-Sorengo (Federation of National Railway
Motive Power Unions) will launch strikes all around the country. It is such struggle that revives labor movement andtherewith stops constitutional revision and war.

Revive Militant Labor Unions! Build a Nationwide Network!
The Self-Defense Forces, during their stationing in Iraq in 2004 through 2006, contracted out the transportation ofmilitary cargo to their Camp Samawa to Japanese private companies including Nippon Express. If there were labor
unions that fought against war collaboration, the military transportation could have been stopped. Strike of rank andfile workers has the power to stop war.
November 1 National All-out Workers' Rally is being organized by Solidarity Union of Japan Construction andTransport Workers Kansai Area Branch (Kan-Nama), Metal and Machinery Workers' Union in Osaka (Minato-Godo),
National Railway Motive Power Union of Chiba (Doro-Chiba) and Nationwide Movement of National Railway

together with us!
