Dear Brother Shiv Kumar,
General Secretary of Maruti Suzuki Employees’ Union (MSEU)
We of National Railway Motive Power Union of Chiba (Doro-Chiba), Japanese locomotive drivers’ union, send herewith heartfelt greetings of solidarity to you, and express our fierce anger against outrageous attack of Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) on MSEU. And above anything else, we could not suppress a hot surge of anger against Suzuki Motor Corp. (SMC) and its Chairman SUZUKI Osamu who stands behind MSI and commands all ongoing oppressions against MSEU.
Doro-Chiba has been in a long struggle against privatization, casualization and outsourcing, and continue to fight against neo-liberal policies in a state of near collapse. And the March 11th East Japan Huge Earthquake and the subsequent nuclear plant accident have triggered a drastic explosion of the fundamental contradictions of capitalism in the midst of aggravating global economic crisis.
If you’d be interested in our action in Japan against SMC’s Tokyo Office or Shizuoka Headquarters pushing this unforgivable union busting, please let me know an appropriate timing of the action.
End the lockout, and drop the inhuman “good conduct bond”!
Reinstate all the dismissed and suspended workers!
Recognize the right of organization immediately!
In Struggle and Solidarity,
International Labor Solidarity Committee of Doro-Chiba
Secretary Treasurer
YAMAMOTO Hiroyuki (H. Yamamoto)
