    On Sept. 15, 33 of the 35 delivery workers in the area, including non-members of the union, accordingly halted deliveries. The incentives were paid on Sept. 19 through the secondary contractor.

    Unions work. If you’re not in a union, join one. If your work place doesn’t have a union, start one. The IWW can help you, search IWW online to find out more, or if you’re in the US:

      NZCTU is a good place to start if you're a kiwi.

      I'm a member of the E Tū union which is currently negotiating an industry-wide Fair Pay Agreement on behalf of all commercial cleaners in the country!

      Japanese unions (according to the article) sound like they're extremely weak and allow scabs. Sounds like a scab issue to me.

        i believe that when a union complains about crime is because it is simply allowed. Who governs usually has a gain from oppression

          When I lived in Japan, the place I worked had a union though I wasn't a member. In all the time I worked there, all I heard was how their union got certain concessions and they were fighting for other things, too. Concessions which were already a part of our contract across the network regardless of union status. And the office lost one lawsuit which was a neverending topic from the union folks. Funny thing is, the company had to be taken to court again for noncompliance of the previous decision. Which they still hadn't followed by the time I left.
