For immediate release of FTUC Leaders
Stop violation against workers basic rights and unjust violence against trade union officials. |
Rengo - Japanese Trade Union Confederation - made a request to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Japan concerning the stoppage of the violations of the basic workers rights in Fiji on November 9. In spite of the fact that Fiji ratifies ILO Conventions No. 87 on freedom of association and the protection of the right to organize and No. 98 on the right to organize and the right to collective negotiation, strict restrictions are imposed upon holding of trade union meetings and, in some industries, industrial actions are forbidden and collective agreements are declared invalid. Violence against and unjust arrests of trade union officials are rampant. |

Yoshihiko NODA Is Elected as New Prime Minister
|
| In the balloting to nominate prime minister in the plenary sessions of both the House of Representatives and the House of Councilors on August 30, Yoshihiko NODA, president of the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), was elected as the 95th prime minister of Japan. Although our country faces many pressing issues at hand including reconstruction from the disaster caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake, the politics of Japan has been in a state of turmoil due to the political strife between ruling and opposition parties and the conflict within the DPJ, which has led people to fall into distrust of politics. Prime Minister NODA who came into being in the midst such situation made clear his determination to advance politics with a whole-party setup as well as with the cooperation between ruling and opposition parties. RENGO would like to appreciate such a stance and hope that the NODA government will realize the ideal of the DPJ by going back to the starting point in a whole-party stance. RENGO also hopes that the opposition cooperates in a responsible manner and joins together with the ruling parties in overcoming the national crisis and in advancing the steps forward for a revival of Japan in a body. |
