Call for Endorsement to and Participation inthe November 4 National Workers' All-Out Rally in Tokyo
The society is rapidly changing. On July 16, nearly 200,000 workers and people participated in an anti-nuke rally in Yoyogi Parkand marched through down town Tokyo. Every Friday, one or two hundred thousand protesters gather and surround the Parliamentbuilding and the Prime Minister's Office chanting, "Stop Restart!" "Overthrow PM Noda!"
It is an expression of the profound rage of people against the very foundation of this corrupt social system. Exposed to radioactive
fallout daily and hourly, mothers in Fukushima feel, "Our kids are being killed." This anger is shared by a large number of young
workers who find themselves pitted each other and deprived of means of unity, labor unions by neoliberal offensives. Together withthese angry people, we must organize half million or even one million people into a huge struggle.
To establish a nuclear-free society, we have to create militant labor unions ready to wage strike against nuclear power andunemployment. Revive militant labor unions that fight against neoliberalism!
Neoliberal offensive means deregulation, privatization of public services and greedy pursuit of profit for a tiny group-big capitaland devastation of the lives of working people and endless pauperization. To carry out these policies, neoliberalism resorts to brutal
practice of state violence: coup d'etat, crack down with physical violence, punishment of workers, unfair labor practice and downrightunion busting.
During the three decades after the division and privatization of National Railways in 1980s as the first step of neoliberalism in Japan,
every aspect of the society has been ruined and every promise made by big capital and the government has been revealed to be anutter lie. The most devastating example is shown by Fukushima nuclear catastrophe: the government declared at the end of 2011,"Fukushima nuclear reactors are under control in cold shutdown" and restarted Oi nuclear power plant last May. The recent bus
accident on Kanetsu Expressway as well as Amagasaki railway accident in 2005 was results of the deregulation of transportationindustry. In the meantime, 20 million workers have been reduced to casual workers; as a result especially young workers are now
deprived of their future. Medium, small and micro enterprises have been victimized by profiteering of monopoly capital and forced togo bankruptcy, to make mass firing and to suffer from consumer tax hike.
How can we effectively fight back against these neoliberal assaults? Our focus must be on organizing more powerful Nationwide
Movement of National Railway Struggle all across the country. The aim of this movement is to fundamentally oppose the Divisionand Privatization of National Railway, the initial offensive of neo-liberalism in Japan, and to fight for reinstatement of 1,047 dismissed
national railway workers.
Doro-Chiba is now fighting against full outsourcing plan of inspection & repair jobs and disguised contract labor in JR East Companyand for abolition of irregular employment system. This is the decisive battle against the business circle's scheme in which they openlydeclare 90 % of workforce should be casualized.
On June 29, the Tokyo District Court outrageously denied reinstatement of the Doro-Chiba members fired during the privatization
process, although the court admitted that the JNR had committed an unfair labor practice by unduly deleting the names of theplaintiffs from the list of reemployment (by the privatized JR companies). Organize petition campaign for the reinstatement and win a
victory at the Tokyo High Court!
Revive labor unions, fighting back in workplaces against neoliberal assaults: reactionary reorganization of local government system
and union busting by Osaka mayor Hashimoto and the governmental plan of "special zones for reconstruction" (in the earthquake andtsunami stricken areas) and neoliberal assaults on municipalities, education, postal service and health care.
Learn the lessons of labor movement of Kan-Nama that organizes a broad coalition of labor unions and medium and small enterprises
in ready mixed concrete industry under hegemony of Kan-Nama and fight against monopoly capital's neoliberal assaults and organizelabor movements after the exemplary struggle of Kan-Nama around the country! Minato-Godo experiences in organizing workers ofOsaka area across walls of individual enterprises also help all workers around the country to fight against neoliberalism that has been
devastating communities. Take back communities by the power of labor unions! Strengthen general unions!
Workers in Europe and around the world are launching general strikes and taking to the streets under current Great Depression.
Workers of the world, unite and fight against neoliberalism!
Fight against military bases in Okinawa! Fight together with farmers who fight against Narita Airport! Stop Trans-Pacific Partnership!
Stop constitutional revision!
Organize international coordinated action on November 4 against nuclear power and unemployment!
Bring all of your struggles to Hibiya Open-air Stage on November 4.
Please endorse the November 4 Rally.
