Talk:Louis Carlet

message: Also, Louis Carlet did not originate the march in March that happens around Shibuya most years.  Japanese Unions including migrant workers have marched in March through the streets of Tokyo, long before Carlet's 4 years at the union.  He perhaps could be credited for the incredibly banal name: March in March.  I wouldn't be surprised if he wrote all this stuff himself--knowing that no one knows / cares to check.

message: In a recent past visit (in 2012) to the Tokyo District Court, I discovered Carlet's name as a defendant in a case with a woman.  I sat in on it, and apparently, she was suing him for stalking her online in 2010 and he was her former caseworker (if I heard correctly).  She was absent, and not a public figure.　The case was（ワ）第１７８９６号  But I'm not sure if / how to include this on the official page as there is no online link to this.  Suggestions?

message: If there are others more distinguished, write articles about them. I hope there will be many--it does not help the labor movement to quarrel about which ones to put in.DGG 01:45, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The reason for lack of sources is not important when editing a Wikipedia article, unless that reason can itself be properly sourced. To support your statements you need 1. Source to say his name is banned by newspapers (perhaps he made such a claim in an interview?) and 2. Actual link to Mainich aricle that says he is a "pioneer".

replies: text: Why not be constructive and find that article then? And the link to the magazine was deleted since it is obvious advertsing and it is not a reliable source anyways. Don't you know that thing is just considered a rag? Why reference it? Wanzhen 09:59, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

text: "The reason for lack of sources is not important". A press ban on the man is not important? This has sunk to new lows the likes of which would not be unfamiliar in Nazi Germany. Shame on you. Wanzhen 10:11, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Your anti-labour attitude is what is interesting Sparkzilla. The discussions on these Wikipedia pages reveal to anyone who is interested where you are coming from. Metropolis magazine is a well-known rag. Why would anyone except the publishers of Metropolis be interested in promoting it? Wanzhen 06:19, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The cited material from Metropolis is promoting Mr Catlet and the Union! If you continue to delete it you will be reported for vandalism. Sparkzilla 06:50, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  You all know that this guy, Sparkzilla, was soon after banned from Wikipedia. He was selling his business and trying to raise its profile. Wanzhen (talk) 00:35, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sparkzilla was editing with a COI on more than one article.... He was the single entity that pushed to have this article deleted , User:Spellin was either a sock puppet or a meat puppet. What ever the motives were, it's deeply troubling that someone caused so much trouble on quite a few articles. It's tremendously encouraging, though, that WP admins acted definitively when it became serious. Statisticalregression (talk) 05:19, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hardly.   There was a fair debate and, unfortunately, your side won.   But it is worth pointing out, since the Nova debacle left the Japanese media, any mention of the person-in-question is gone as well.   This is not someone noteable.  Spellin (talk) 10:48, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Notability does not require continuous coverage. Louis Carlet does not need have continuous coverage in the Japanese media per WP:NOTE. To point out that he hasn't received coverage lately and then say that he is "not notable" is a disjunction in your argument. It's rhetorical, but that's all. The Debate, if you recall, wasn't fair...Sparkzilla tried to get people to change thier vote in AFD's which is full on against WP guidlines at the very least, he closed the first AFD prematurely and inappropriately as the one who initiates an AFD should note be the one who closes it, he also changed the outcome of the second AFD from keep to delete after the AFD was closed and was decided as a speedy keep.Statisticalregression (talk) 01:54, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: POV

message: Mr. Carlet is a union organizer of a union which belongs to Solidarity with Migrant Workers Japan - not Solidarity with Foreign Workers Japan. This organization is not advocating for the rights of "foreign workers" - under the United Nations there is no such legal identity. But there is such a thing as the UN Convention on the Protection of Migrant Workers and Their Families. Therefore, the advocacy work is for migrant workers.  Wanzhen 09:26, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Migrant Worker vs Foreign Worker

message: One should also not forget that Mr. Carlet is known for defending anyone, no matter what the reason for dismissal. The standard tactic of threatening to take companies to the labour relations board unless they "pay up" in form of some monetary compensation (which about 30% is then paid to the Union) for an percieved injustice can be used as a form of blackmail. Mr. Carlet uses this tactic no matter what the nature of the dispute is. You could have the lowest nonperformer, a person who abuses other workers, a person who is racist to other workers, or a person whom no one else wants to work with, and Mr. Carlet will still threaten the company seeking some form or monetary redress for a percieved wrong against a member. Union activity does not equal social justice to him and his union. He undermines the legitimacy of real unions by making no distinction in whom he defends. 
Most companies will ignore him, but a small percentage of companies will pay up -- whether it is just or not, just to stop being harassed by his union. I have heard he is using this tactic on small (language companies -- even Mom & Pop language teaching) companies, that are financially on the edge. 
I don't particularly think that this point needs to be put up here..., I don't think it's important. I don't think that Mr. Carlet is important. But if some think it's worth it to have a section for Mr. Carlet, then you had better tell all the story about this opportunist... Not try to paint him as some social crusader with a conscience.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: He did in fact launch the March in March beginning in 2005, first as the Job Security March in Shibuya then as the March in March. Zenroukyou leaders such as Torii Ippei took credit for the popular march, claiming he got the idea from foreigner shunto back in the 1990s. Zenrokyo wants to take credit away from him.  He was also the first full-time paid foreign union organizer in Japan and launched the first foreign-led amalgamated union in Japan, both things that his detractors wish to deny him credit for.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Purpleshoesnow (talk • contribs) 08:01, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
