PETITION - Osaka University vs. General Union Members - Confirm Employment Status in Court 大阪大学対ゼネラルユニオン組合員― 雇用関係の確認を求める請願書

The General Union is writing this petition to the Osaka District Court to confirm the status of 2 General Union members working at Osaka University as employees and to direct the University to convert their contracts to unlimited-term employment contracts. ゼネッルユニオンは、大阪大学に勤務する組合員2名の従業員としての地位の確認と、無期雇用契約への転換を大阪大学に命じるよう、大阪地方裁判所に要請を行なっています。 In 2021, two longtime Osaka University part-time lecturers were unjustly denied unlimited term employment contracts, with the university calling them "independent contractors." After fruitless negotiations, the members filed a lawsuit in August 2022 to confirm employee status, backed by the General Union. 2021年、大阪大学で長年非常勤講師を務めていた2人が、大学側から "個人事業主 "として無期雇用契約を不当に拒否されました。交渉は不調に終わり、組合員は2022年8月、ゼネラルユニオンの支援を得て、雇用関係の確認を求める訴訟を起こしました。 This case impacts part-time university lecturers nationwide facing precarious employment. The union vows to fight to uphold members' right, as the outcome secures justice and better conditions for part-time academics across Japan! この事件は、不安定雇用に直面している全国の大学非常勤講師に影響を与えます。組合は、日本全国の非常勤講師の正義と待遇改善を確保する結果を勝ち取って、組合員の権利を守るために闘うことを誓います! EVERYONE is welcome to sign the petition in solidarity and fight for the rights of part-time workers in Japan! 日本におけるパートタイム労働者の権利のために連帯し、闘うために、誰でも署名することができます!
