Japan UAL Flight Attendants Protest Discriminatory firing Of Japanese Flight Attendants

by Labor Video Project
United Airlines has illegally fired four flight attendants who were based in Japan without justification. They are members of another union and worked for Continental before the merger. This violation of Japanese law by United Airlines could be used against other Japanese workers who also work for multi-nationals.

Japanese flight attendants who worked for UAL and Continental before the merger was completed were illegally fired by UAL despite Japanese labor law that requires a reason for being discharged. They rallied on 3/2819 in Tokyo at the Japanese labor court to get an order that returns them to their jobs with UAL.
The 4 UAL Japanese flight attendents have been fighting since the merger to get their jobs back but United refuses to return them to their jobs. The workers are members of Zenroh a Japanese union and would not be in the CWA-AFA which represents nearly all the flight attendants in the United States.
