Winning better working conditions is our goal, but being part of our union is more than that...
Being part of a union gives you:
Job security through our "pre-consultation agreement" with ECC
A grievance process that allows us to bring problems at work directly to the top management
Many collective agreements that give you rights that non-union workers may not receive
A community of over 100 teachers just like you across Japan
Access to workshops, seminars, and other events so you can learn your rights and how to exercise them
A voice in a democratic organization, allowing you to create the changes you want to see
As individuals, we have to beg; but with
Solidarity
We have the knowledge needed to create the working conditions we deserve, and the power to make them a reality. All it takes is trust and support in each other.
