What does being an employee mean?

In 2007, teachers joined together and declared a union to seek improved working conditions. In early 2008 we won a 100 yen per lesson increase. After that the union sought employment rights such as holidays, unemployment insurance, health and pension, workers' accident compensation. When GABA failed to recognize teachers as employees, the General Union and GABA members took it to the Labor Commission and Labor Standards Office. Final statements have been made and a ruling will be made in the coming months. Watch this space for updates.
Join the union and help make GABA a better place for teachers, staff, and students. We are open to teachers and staff alike.
