GU Nichibei Branch 日米英語学院支部

Message from the Branch Chairman

We're proud to say that we're one of the oldest branches of the General Union, with an unbroken record of activity stretching back 12 years.

We're also a branch which has made union history, having fought through one of the union's biggest ever labour disputes...and won. Read about our 3-year struggle on the streets, on strike, on the picket line, in the courts and the Labour Commission.

We want serious teachers and staff to join the union, and we want our members to be the best employees in the company. Join in and do something positive for the company. Help to make a better Nichibei for the students, staff, and teachers!

See what we're doing now to improve working conditions and quality of education at the school.

Nichibei Teachers and Staff! Join us to improve the school! NOW READ ON.
