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.
