I hope you find this interesting!!
my vlog this week will be about a worker from a staffing agency application sues a company for 14000yen for canceling his schedule for him to work for a short period of time. This might not sound mush of a problem and some people might think that this isn't worthy of being on the news, but the truth is that if the worker wins this case this ill mean that the total unpaid salaries from the past will sum up to 300 billion yen due to the plaintiffs lawyer.
I thought that this article was interesting because I think that many workers in the society don't care to look at their contracts, thinking that if the company tells me so it must not be illegal. This worker who was just a normal student working part time might impact the whole working society. I though that this workers ability to doubt something and even if its possible to do was something that more people need to do weather your a worker or not.
extras The MHLW which appears many times in this article is one of Japans central government ministries, responsible for protecting citizens ,livelihoods, health, and working environments.
