7th Annual March in March
Sunday, March 13th, 2010 12:00PM-
Tokyo, Chiyoda Ward, Hibiya Park Small Amphitheater
The March in March is a multinational gathering and protest march that takes place each March. It began with foreign workers calling for job security and an end to discrimination, but with the deteriorating work environment in Japan “job security and equality” have become the goals of not only foreigners but all who work in Japan. The government claims to have created jobs, but the ranks of working poor and unstable jobs (dispatch, part-time, temp, contract, subcontract, freelance) have increased. The young, the elderly, foreigners and women live with anxiety about their futures. Workaholic men work themselves literally to death. Inequality and disparity do not make workers happy.
The March in March is open to anyone who works or lives in Japan. Together, let’s make sure our voices are heard, let’s make sure the powers that be get the message loud and clear. The March in March will begin in Hibiya Park at 12:00pm on Sunday, March 13, 2011.
Last year hundreds of people assembled in Tokyo’s Hibiya Park to demand a stable work environment, free from illegal dismissals, unpaid wages, or discrimination.
