Male joined Tamahawm on July 3, 2007, and since 2010 he was in charge of the sales manager at the Iwaki sales office.

Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly(Reference 1:Liberal Democratic Party, Shogi Suzuki, Mr. Yagi admit "If I get married soon": Asahi Shimbun Digital, Reference 2:【Full Text】 "Is not it better for you to get married soon?" In Akikazu Shiomura in the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly ___ ___ 0 ___ 0, Reference 3:City council Yazi four people or more, found by speech analysis Survey came over: Asahi Shimbun Digital)

On June 18, 2014, the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly went to a female legislator who asked about the support measures of the city in pregnancy and childbirth of women, such as "Would not it be better to get married sooner"? It goes without saying that these remarks themselves correspond to female contempt. Furthermore, at a press conference by a male member who acknowledged that he had blown off the trap, just by changing the word "I want to get married quickly in the declining birthrate, late marriage ..." He expressed that he was unable to understand the essence of the problem, stating his apology completely devoid of the perception that marriage and childbirth are individual freedoms.
During this parliamentary campaign where this Yagi flew, besides this Yazi there are a couple of Yagi that seems to be a female contempt. However, other than the above-mentioned city councils, the speaking parties did not raise their name, but they evolved into the situation of searching for speakers by using speech discrimination and the like. Representatives who made other remarks still keep their mouth full.

My boss explained the work like production work and the work in the warehouse of the logistics system, as it would be a job not in accordance with the intention if remaining in the company, but Mr. A decided to respond to the desired retirement There was no indication.
In the same year, Ricoh ordered Mr. A to be a subsidiary. Destination was a subsidiary of the distribution system, and Mr. A engaged in simple work (consignment and unpacking of goods etc.) in standing work. Neither personal desk nor personal computer was paid to Mr. A.


◆ Akita Bookstore(Reference 1:Asahi Shimbun Digital: presents to five readers ... lie Akita bookstore to consumer agency disposal - society, Reference 2:Tokyo Metropolitan Youth Union | Akita Bookstore: Premium inflated, unfair dismissal incidents page)

In 2007 I joined Akita Bookstore after graduating from university and was assigned to the editorial department of "Mystery Bonita", and a female employee, Ms. A, involved in editing was in charge of the magazine 's readers' gift column. Mr. A was surprised at the fact that fewer prizes were prepared than the number specified, and repeatedly appealed to his boss that "fraud should be stopped." However, Akita bookstore did not rectify gifts for gifts, and continued business instructions for this female employee. Mr. A suffered from mental illness in the conflict and was forced to take a leave of absence. Akita book store against Mr. A in such a situation disciplined dismissal of A as "I got clothed without sending a reader present to a reader."


◆ School corporation Ji Kyodera Gakuen Chair Goshi Fukaya High school, Ist(reference:Part-time instructor of private high school is illegal "Outsourcing" 45% pinned to poor treatment companies Educational site of an abnormal disparity society: MyNewsJapan)

A part - time lecturer at a high school was working at an illegal camouflage contractor at Masato Fukaya High School in Saitama Prefecture. A woman in her twenties, a part-time lecturer, Mr. A joined a personal contracting contract with Ishi Tempa Companies who are outsourcing contracts with Goshi Fukaya High School for 2 years from April 1, 2010, and was in charge of social studies classes. With a contract of 9000 yen per schedule, we held 16 classes per month and received 144,000 yen per month, but they were also asked to attend the meeting and supplement the students. Mr. A is making progress with the full-time faculty members of the school on the progress of the lesson and the contents of the test, and the command order was received from the school.
In this way, because it is in a multi-business outsourcing relationship of school → ist → worker, and it was also receiving a command from the school, it was also a so-called camouflage contractor. And because relations with Ish are outsourcing agreements, social insurance and employment insurance have not been added.
