| Wow. I also apologize to you, Samurai, for doubting (you gotta be careful on the Internet with who you trust tho!). |

| If local BOEs decide to hire the ALTs, I would really envy them. They'd pretty much see their salary shoot up from 250,000 to 400,00 over night. |

That's how much I made roughly as a full-time teacher in a prestigious private HS. I doubt that any direct hires from ALT would make that much. |

Imagine if this is true. If they don't pay for Sept, you will get a huge reaction from the ALTs. I could see many going to China or wherever is close and is still hiring.
This could be like Nova, in the damaging sort of way. People not getting paid and quitting, even though the govt paid their company. I wonder what kind of effects this will wreck? |

I really need to get out to Hokkaido.....Those kind of positions just don't seem to exist in Tokyo |

Samurai, I have searched Japanese mainstream media and have not seen any reference to the Interac- AP buyout.
Will the union or the company issue a press release? |

The first line is pretty explicit "official announcement of dissolution/解散「する」by the end of this month"- but I agree, the only news of this I have seen has been on the GU website so far. It would be nice to see more explanation or announcement of this elsewhere/in the more major news publications.
I assume if/when this becomes more public- then maybe we will hear more details? |

No they wouldn't.
They would likely earn exactly the same amount as they were earning before. The BoE would just pocket the rest.
The ALT is still doing the same job, and therefore is still getting paid the same amount. The BoE just has to now deal directly with the foreigner. That, to them, was worth the 150,000Y a month they used to pay the dispatch company. They aren't getting that service any more, so why would they pay for it? |

Although Interac is obviously not getting a gold star sticker for the day because they've been trying to cover up this buyout as a merger, how is the union being any more legitimately informative?
What I get from the article is that they're just as bad with exaggerating as Interac is--they just happen to be on the other extreme of "everything is going to be terrible," while Interac assures, "nothing will change!"
The union post seems like it's mostly speculation just going:
what's going to happen to contracts?
what will the boes do???
Will things be able to continue normally?
I don't think it's worth getting worked up into a frenzy about until people actually see for themselves what's going to happen or are given concrete facts. I'm sure the union has good intentions, but I'd like it more if they were providing facts or statements rather than wishy-washy questions about the "what if"s that will only make people freak out more. |

| While it makes sense that they are being broken up due to financial difficulties, it made no mention as such in that posting. The only thing certain from that post as far as I can tell is that interac and interac publishing will be dissolved by the buyout firm AP effective Oct. 1. |
