Branch Meetings 2:00 (depending on branch･各支部によって) to 3:45･支部会議
Many General Union branches hold their branch meeting on this day.
Branch meetings are all set to finish at 3:45 but will start any time from 2PM. Watch for an email letting you know what time your branch meetings starts.
支部会合終了時間は3:45に予定していますが、開始時間は支部により異なります（早い支部は2時から）あなたの所属する支部の会合の開始時間がいつかはメールで連絡があります
Branch meetings on this day often include elections for branch officers and delegates to the union’s Annual General Meeting.
支部会合終了時間は3:45に予定していますが、開始時間は支部により異なります（早い支部は2時から）あなたの所属する支部の会合の開始時間がいつかはメールで連絡があります。
If you’re bringing along a guest for the open seminars your guest will be able to attend the branch meeting, but cannot vote AND may be asked to leave the room for short periods of time if sensitive branch issues are discussed, but probably not.
当日の支部会合のスケジュールは通常支部役員とゼネラルユニオン総会への代議員の選出が含まれます。
公開セミナーへゲストを連れてきた場合、ゲストは支部会合に出席はできますが投票はできず、繊細な支部の問題が討論される場合に一時的に部屋からの退出を求める場合がありますが、今回はおそらくないでしょう。
Seminar 1—What is a union? 4:00 to 4:45・組合とは何か
As the General Union has members from all over the world, sometimes we all have different ideas about what a union is, what a union can do, and how a union functions.
ゼネラルユニオンの組合員は世界各国の出身者です。時々、組合とは何か、組合には何ができるか、組合はどのように機能しているかに関して考え方が違う場合があります。
Aside from the differences based on country, all union functions on the basis of solidarity and strength.
出身国に基づいた違いは別として、組合は一致して連帯と団結に基づいて機能します。
Learn what a union can do for you and what you can do to support your colleagues and fellow union members.
組合はあなたのために何ができるか、あなたは同僚や組合員同志を支えるために何ができるかについて学びましょう。
ゼネラルユニオンと職場の権利 Q&A 5:00 to 5:45
私たちの組合について何か質問はありますか？
職場におけるあなたの権利について知りたいですか？
労働基準法、社会保険等自由に質問をしてください。
Seminar 2a—New Worker Dispatch Law 5:00 to 5:45
As dispatch grows in Japan there is a lot of confusion around the rights of dispatch workers and also on the legality of dispatch workers working in different industries.
There are different types of dispatching allowed and employers that the General Union deals with often violate the different dispatch laws through either design or ignorance.
If you are a dispatched worker, find out how this new law may affect your rights to direct, more secure employment in the future.
Seminar 2b—Shakai Hoken (Health and Pension Insurance) 5:00 to 5:45
Did you know that all (well, mostly all) people in Japan over twenty years old have a duty to be enrolled in public health insurance? There are different kinds of insurance based on your status as a worker and many times the situation can be confusing.
Learn about your rights to be enrolled, the benefits involved, the pitfalls and dangers of non-enrollment, and what your employer’s duties are.
Will prove to be a very interesting seminar especially since the General Union is suing the Japanese government over the rights of all workers to be enrolled.
Seminar 2c—Worker Status 5:00 to 5:45
Many employers try to get around things like paid holidays, insurance, overtime pay, and other obligations under Japanese labour law by calling their workers subcontractors. Under Japanese law it’s not possible to just designate someone as a subcontractor and deprive them of their rights.
Find out what the General Union has done in regards to false subcontracting, and how you can be involved in making sure that your rights are protected by having your status as a worker firmly established.
