Minna's Union characteristics

Minna Union is a labor union that exists as a tangible organization but primarily operates online.

Workers unite, express opinions and demands as a group, and if necessary, connect them to negotiations and actions. We are preparing an entry point and foundation for this that anyone can use.

What we aim for is not the loudness of our voices.

That the legitimacy of voices is conveyed to society with appropriate procedures and forms.

And to contribute to a sound workplace order and a just society.

Exercising your three labor rights correctly on the web

The three labor rights guaranteed by the Constitution are as follows:

• Right to organizeThe right of workers to unite as a group, rather than as individuals, and to form their will.
• The right to collective bargainingThe right to collectively bargain for working conditions and the work environment.
• The right to act as a groupThe right to express the collective will of an organization to society and to choose necessary actions.

Minna no Union provides a platform for web-based communication, participation, and activities to make these into "forms that can actually be used" rather than just "ideals."

Why is Minna's Union necessary?

Workers have rights. However, having rights and being able to exercise them are different things.

Communicating as an individual can lead to isolation. If workers speak up as individuals, it can lead to disadvantages and pressure within workplace power dynamics.

As a result, legitimate issues are buried in silence just as much as they are raised.

Minnana Union exists as a stepping stone for workers to move from "individual" to "collective."

To enable people in vulnerable positions to regain their dignity and express their demands in an appropriate manner.

That is our central idea.
