Welcome to the General Union GABA website

In September 2007, GABA teachers joined together and declared a new union for GABA teachers and staff.  General Union GABA branch will begin negotiations with GABA on 18 October over our demands.  If you're a GABA teacher or staff person, please join and help make GABA a better place for teachers, staff, and students.

GABA: the future?
　 In recent ads GABA has called itself the future of English education in Japan, but what's so futuristic about GABA and their working conditions?  GABA contracts offer:
  • NO paid holidays.
  • NO unemployment insurance.
  • NO health and pension insurance.
  • NO set salary.
  • NO job security.
  • NO right to challenge unfair dismissals.
  • NO right to negotiate with your employer as an equal.

　

 Since 1991 the General Union has won the following rights for teachers and staff at most major language schools and a host of smaller ones.
  • Paid holidays.
  • Unemployment insurance benefits.
  • Health and pension rights.
  • Pay increases.
  • The withdrawal of unfair dismissals and contract non-renewals.
  • Grievances procedures to deal with everyday problems.
  • The right to sit down with your employer as an equal and negotiate the conditions for which you are willing to teach.

General Union: the future!
