"Rights and Wrongs - The Issues Teachers Face Today"

Debito Arudou

Louis Carlet
(Deputy General Secretary NUGW Tokyo Nambu)

The job security of college and university teachers is under
increasing threat - from cuts in salary, the non-renewal of
contracts, outsourcing and attacks on our right to organise to
protect and improve our working conditions. In the face of such
threats, what are our rights? What can we learn from past and present
disputes? How can we stop the tide of outsourcing? How, as committed
professionals and trade unionists, can we secure our future? Our two
opening speakers will set the context, followed by questions and
answers, and an open forum to discuss the issues.
