activity

In order to establish global standards, the GlobalUnion carries out a range of activities that trade unions around the world have never done before in their history.

World's first legal super-union

The GlobalUnion continues to evolve as a statutory 'super' trade union, not just a conventional statutory trade union that has lost its raison d'etre due to subordinate legislation, by eliminating and radically innovating various common practices of trade unions that have historically been taken for granted, in line with their original raison d'etre.

No union full-time employee is required.

A full-time union employee is a person who continues to have an employment relationship with the employer but does not actually work, but only performs trade union work. However, the reality is that it cannot be said that union workers do the work for each and every worker,They only exist to prey on union dues from members.There are no situations where the need for this is felt to be so great that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is.

No monthly union fees are required.

It is no exaggeration to say that the monthly union fee is a system for the livelihood of full-time union employees,With the elimination of full-time union workers, mutual support among members and the strength of large numbers of members, the union can operate sufficiently as a trade union for each and every worker, even without union dues.The GlobalUnion is the largest union group that has built a democratic and sound union using IT and technology, and has received volunteers from professionals, managers and other experts to form the largest union group that is free of union fees, yet highly effective.

No unnecessary collective bargaining.

Trade unions are guaranteed by the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, three powerful labour rights: the right to organise, the right to collective action and the right to collective bargaining. In the GlobalUnion,Unite big, act fast, negotiate smartThe right to collective bargaining is considered when there is a serious labour problem that cannot be resolved by the employer, and if the employer strongly wishes to comply with the right.

No petition for relief to the Labour Relations Commission.

Trade unions, guaranteed by the Constitution, which is the supreme law, are further redefined in the Trade Union Act, which is a subordinate law, and an organisation called the Labour Relations Commission has also been established nationwide under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, which also provides a fine system of petitioning for redress before the Labour Relations Commission. In practice, however,After years of filing a petition for redress, the employer has only been able to issue a meaningless order, such as that the employer should agree to collective bargaining, after filing a petition for redress with the Labour Relations Commission.It can be said that GlobalUnion is a union group that truly implements relief for each and every worker as a statutory 'super' trade union that does not petition for relief.

Operation of use committees.

The system of petitioning the Labour Relations Commission for redress is a token system for workers with pressing problems, as it is unnecessarily time-consuming and full of decisions that do not resolve the underlying issues. In this respect, GlobalUnion, a statutory 'super' trade union, has a policy of not petitioning the Labour Relations Commission for redress and has been able to resolve problems effectively and radically, making full use of the right to organise and collective action.

But as well as black companies that do not accept collective bargaining,The fact that there are black trade unions that do not want to negotiate collectively is a very big social problem.This is the case. This means that no matter how much the employers try to face the workers for sound management, they are hampered by black trade unions that abuse the strong rights of trade unions.

GlobalUnion has therefore set up an 'Employers' Committee' and operates a 'Appeal for Redress to the Employers' Committee' to provide redress for white employers.

If you are a white company trying to conduct sound management while dealing properly with workers and are troubled by black trade unions, please feel free to use the GlobalUnion's "Employers' Committee Relief Petition System".

Workers' disposable incomes UP.

In Japan in 2024, under the risk of a rapidly weakening yen and inflation, public fears that wages will not rise in the future have reached the point of stagflation, and the Kishida Government has declared that disposable income will be UP.

In this context, the Japanese Trade Union Confederation announced in its fourth round tally of the 2024 Spring Struggle that the average rate of wage increase, including base increases (bears) and regular salary increases (regular salary increases), was 5.20%, the highest rate of wage increase in 33 years since 5.66% in 1991 (final tally), which was also a great This was a hot topic of discussion.

GlobalUnion has long been concerned about the future of workers as a whole, and has worked to increase disposable incomes by using methods that go beyond mere wage increases, with the help of a number of knowledgeable volunteers.

As a result, the company has succeeded in increasing the disposable income of more than 10,000 workers by more than 151 TP3T over the past few years,This is actually three times the 5% wage increase achieved by the Spring Struggle for the first time in 33 years.Outgoing.

We are convinced that this achievement can only be realised because the GlobalUnion has continued to work for the betterment of workers, other trade unions and employers, as well as workers, in order to truly improve workers' welfare.

Real wage increases due to union activities

The only way for workers to increase their income, other than by increasing their employer's base wage, is generally by taking on a second job. The trend towards allowing side jobs, rather than making management efforts to increase labour costs by increasing wages, is also encouraging an increase in the number of workers who take on side jobs.

But can it be said to serve the workers' fundamental economic interests?

Skim job applications that fill in workers' time gaps have become very popular as side jobs, but to begin with, time gaps are time outside of work, and if we are truly pursuing workers' happiness, then skim time should be free time, not work.Promotions that actively contravene the legal working hours stipulated in Article 32 of the Labour Standards Law.It can be said that. Namely,Wages have not increased in real terms, but simply the number of hours worked has increased.This means.

Therefore, GlobalUnion launched the Thin Skimmer Income Union, the first project of its kind in the world, which aims to increase the real income of its members during working hours, so that anyone, anywhere, anytime can earn income through its activities.

The Thin Skimmer Income Union believes that a system in which anyone can earn income anywhere, anytime, even during work hours, rather than depriving workers of their precious free time by calling it 'skimmer' and spurring on hard work, will lead to higher wages for workers in the real sense of the word.

Specifically, whether it is work time or free time,

• Are there any unpaid wages or harassment in the workplace?
• Are you in trouble because an unscrupulous company is forcing you to sign an expensive contract?
• Are there people in need around you?

If someone wants to solve a problem that has come up as part of communication with customers or daily conversation, such as a problem with a customer, they are introduced to a member who can solve it, and a portion of the amount from the amount solved is donated as a donation to the member who introduced them and the member who solved the problem.

The activities are not tied to the employer, even during working hours, as they are carried out within the scope of daily conversations and voluntary activities by all members - the person with the problem, the referring union member and the member who solves the problem. By signing a labour agreement with a cooperative white company in advance, you can earn extra income through activities with a higher social contribution.

Support for workers' economic activities

Japan has a labour shortage and will continue to attract more workers from abroad as well as domestically.

• Visa obtained/resident card.
• Various procedures for bank accounts and credit cards
• Finding housing and signing contracts for electricity, gas, water and internet.
• Advice on labour problems received at the place of employment.
• looking for a new job
• Moving operations and waste disposal.

Many foreign workers, in particular, are troubled by having to go through these essential procedures for living in a situation where they cannot communicate as well as they would like.

GlobalUnion has a number of experienced managers as well as lawyers, social security and labour attorneys, certified public accountants, judicial scriveners, administrative scriveners and other professionals who support our activities on a voluntary basis.

It provides comprehensive support for domestic workers as well as for the livelihoods of overseas workers,To ensure that workers around the world can work comfortably in a healthy working environment.Activities.
