Does Japan have unions?
Several years ago a Freeper here relayed information I'd never heard before. I can't say if it was true. Yes, there are unions. Yes, they go on strike, but they do not walk out. They wear arm bands to show they are on strike, but they continue to work. They know not working harms the company, and the bottom line, and they also know harming the company would ultimately result in lay-offs, which would harm them or those they work with.
