Berlitz Ad (Japanese lesson) Industrial Action Phraseology 2

[cellphonetrickery]

2005 salary freeze- Begunto struck & got a pay thaw for ALL instructors. (The parent company claims 5 years record profits in 2008 See Benesse site investor relations. Makes sense?)

In 1992 Berlitz Japan increased contract lesson burdens 30 lessons to 40 - de facto 33 % increase in required availability w/ little or no comp. The Union fought 8 years to return to 30 unit/week.

A new 40 unit contract teacher gets the same unit pay as back in the mid 1980s. The Union is fighting against it.

the banner actually says " Berlitz teachers(blue for company color) are currently on strike. (red, raditional strike color)"

With a few minor changes in vocabulary the chant could be used for striking airline employees or nurses as well.

Note: yoroshiku onegaishimasu is the proper spelling. " J" was a typo.
