Sisters and Brothers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Solidarity With Migrant Workers Network Japan<\/a> (SMJ) will hold its biannual national forum on Saturday June 14 (from noon) and Sunday June 15 (from 1pm) at the Kawasaki Kyoiku Bunka Kaikan, near Kawasaki Station. \u00a0See map at:<\/strong><\/p>\n

http:\/\/map.yahoo.co.jp\/pl?lat=35.52566306&lon=139.71113389&p=%C0%EE%BA%EA%BB%D4%B6%B5%B0%E9%CA%B8%B2%BD%B2%F1%B4%DB<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This group has long tackled serious issues facing foreigners living in Japan, including discrimination, violence, visa issues, labor problems and the like. \u00a0The forum will bring together dozens of groups that handle foreigner issues from around the country and even some from other countries. Our strong ally Kanagawa City Union will host the forum.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Satruday, we will hold subcommittees and one of them will be a labor subcommittee. \u00a0During that subcommittee, we will hear speakers discuss the fledgling Multi-Ethnic Worker Center, Zentoitsu’s foreign worker caucus, the Berlitz dispute and how other labor federations such as Zenroren handle foreign unionization.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This will be an exciting forum that happens only once every two years and this year it’s in our neighborhood (last time in Sapporo). \u00a0To ensure a seat, preregister by calling 044-533-6109 or faxing 044-555-3362 or emailing info@kanagawa-f08.sakura.ne.jp<\/strong><\/p>\n

See You There!<\/strong><\/p>\n
