2009 MARCH 11 - MARCH 17 LDP and DPJ must come clean about acceptance of illegal donations Japanese Communist Party Chair Shii Kazuo said, “We strongly demand that the LDP and DPJ take steps to investigate the allegations. There are many ways they can do so. The DPJ actually called for political donations from public works contractors to be banned in its election platform and submitted a bill to the Diet to this effect.” JCP protests against sending MSDF destroyers to waters off Somalia Japanese Communist Party Chair Shii Kazuo said, “The regulation of pirates’ criminal activities should be a police responsibility. Japan should not dispatch its military units overseas, but provide financial and technical assistance to Somalia and its neighboring countries to help them tighten patrol activities in nearby areas. This is what the nations concerned want from Japan.” 136 unions established in last 4 months Temporary workers, including those who were laid off, are joining existing unions or organizing their own unions in many parts of the country to struggle to win full-time regular positions, demand that their dismissals be revoked, and file complaints about employers’ illegal labor practices with the labor bureaus. ...............................................................................................................................
