○ The Fukushima Crisis 554; Dose 100mSv/few days 837 Yen less than the hourly rate a few days between exposure to 100 mSv meter

In terms of wages as well, even workers with seniority dating from before the accident are finding themselves being paid about two thousand yen less per day, along with the elimination of extra compensation for hazardous work conditions; There is testimony as well that at the lowest end of the spectrum, (Report) it is not uncommon for the daily wage to dip to just eight thousand yen. Even more shocking, according to Radio News Broadcast, in response to a recent survey taken by TEPCO of its subcontracted workers, 5% reported earning less than 837 yen per hour (minimum wage Tokyo)! This survey is one supposedly administered regularly by TEPCO to assess the situation of its subcontracted labor, but in fact, TEPCO does not administer it directly. Rather, the surveys are entrusted to the main contractor to distribute to its subcontractors, and so on. Some workers report that during the surveys they are pointedly reminded by their bosses not to "write anything unusual" (Report), while others report having to fill out the surveys in front of their bosses or even being told what to write as they fill them out ( Radio Broadcast News). So it is hard to believe that the results of this survey reflect the true working conditions of these employees, yet even it shows that 9% of them work at least five layers of subcontractors below the main contractor; 15 percent are "false" contract workers, that is, the company from which they receive wages and the company for which they are said to be working are in fact different;
and another 15 percent report not being told how much radiation they are exposed to during a day (Radio Broadcast News).Another important issue is the increased replacement of experienced workers familiar with nuclear technology by workers with no nuclear experience when the experienced workers reach their maximum allowable level of radiation exposure. As one worker put it during the roundtable, "In a high radiation zone, you are exposed to radiation whether you are undergoing training or not; in other words, there is no time for training. Rather than simply getting rid of experienced workers when they reach their maximum exposure levels, we should guarantee their employment during the five years it takes to reset their levels by using them to educate new workers and man conventional thermal power plants in order to preserve these human resources. That way, these workers could support operations until it was time they could return to the nuclear site. " I find it hard to contemplate returning workera who had reached their maximum radiation level back into a high radiation zone even after five years, but nevertheless, it would be good for such workers to be provided with proper medical examinations and the like During that time. In any case, the cleanup of Fukushima Dai-ichi is a job that will end in the far future, any number of decades down the line. We must closely safeguard their wellbeing, precisely because workers are irradiating themselves in order to complete this job for us. Whether this clean-up process continues slowly and steadily or another major accident occurs is an affair that concerns not just Japan but every living being on the planet. So it is the duty of each and every one of us to guarantee a stable work environment for those who perform this job for us, so that they can work proudly, knowing that they are doing their part to stop our environment from becoming even more polluted than it already is . Let us all listen in good faith to the words of the workers, and be vigilant in our calls to make TEPCO and the Japanese government take proper responsibility toward them, to guarantee that each and every one of them will see their proper wages restored and their improved work environments;
met in they are and until, let in up in these demands, let us never...Corrupting this treatment, pointed out that three different coverage common cause is because you have a cost savings to bid on work order citing TEPCO. Contractor wants to take the job and sold same job cheaper than ever but the brunts 8 coming out the end of the subcontractors received 9 next are not uncommon, workers salaries revision and. For example, HIRONO-Cho ( report Raj ) raising borrowed Inn Iwaki, previously I have same accident at work force workers are being cut by half, peopled with workers and was shuttle by bus to the scene from stop, near to the nuclear power plant and report (RC model) dine with building prefab place, vacant houses are subdivided, with of the Inn at cooking his pocket ready for bathing as well as should be in their own, transfers without the say. Means and ranged from emergency evacuation preparation zones but HIRONO, was this year, but was lifted in the dose too much higher compared to Iwaki-shi still come back little in original inhabitants. Think I want to get. Entered the House without words of warm appreciation then also came back one day, at the high dose of intense labor, no fire, such as original residents haven't returned almost at will and Cook, buying decent ingredients? You will catch more to prepare meals and baths better, etc, isn't? This BTW is to reduce costs show no easy what healthcare workers, including frankly. Testimony of 8000 yen per diem that not uncommon during the testimony say veteran workers about per diem, came to work at Fukushima Daiichi accident ago even dropping 2000 yen compared with the accident initially does not have either a risk allowance and Terminal workers is "world" Lupo. TEPCO sub-contracting in the RAD report instead, workers cites the remarkable results that people below the hourly wage (minimum wage, Tokyo) 837 yen from surveys made recently 5%. But TEPCO grasp the work conditions of subcontracted workers survey has so regularly, TEPCO does directly is not. Through General dealt together subcontracting companies each, bites nails from the main "write it funny that" at that time, may be specified per world reportage workers fill out in front of the President according to subcontractors, to fill in the answer to also report Raj ". Knowing the companies doing the work instructions in different company away even from that survey their work starting from the prime contractor more than that to be per diem 9% 15% suspected the day their radiation dose must have been 15% doubt is exactly the work conditions are reflected at all, says report (RC model). Obviously uninformed disguised and dose is a violation of labour standards law. I wonder if being hunted in this survey is the right way? what kind of appeared. World magazine contacted daily allowance has fallen and many people doesn't have a danger against TEPCO, East Dentsu Head Office Public Relations Department explained the "not aware or so contract in construction costs considering the working environment and conditions only are Contracting modular tactical vests, how subcontractor pays workers, can't say no company contractual relationship" world reportage. And about survey came out a lot of problems ", paid to subcontractors workers reasonable wages, remuneration and allowances General buyer's perspective calls necessary legal protection to" and answer the world reportage. But the survey was taken for the first time is not. It's regularly been adopted until now. Problems had not improved even just two years after the accident far from getting worse. It is workers to handle the accident that caused the Tokyo electric power company's working for while exposure here. To protect the health of its workers, working in proper conditions so that TEPCO's isn't?
That survey come out is an obvious violation of labour standards law Ministry is doing?It is serious problem that those skilled workers who did the flow of job-site accident since reached the dose limits, left the scene and no work experience in the nuclear power plant instead of. "No time exposure, while teaching job to Rookie of the year in high-dose to also teach. Until five years later, do not leave the experts reached a dose limit the dose count is reset ensures work in plants and newcomer education and want to secure the human resources. You can also maintain technology until return to the scene of the Fukushima Daiichi five years after "world mooted proposals only technicians said there. Bear back scene who dose limit has been reached after five years and five years but also not to cum that you'll get a iPhone 4 with physicals, including possible. Anyway, Fukushima Daiichi accident seems far, such as the convergence of work followed by decades from now. From people that will work with exposure that's barely maintain the status quo. Big without incident from this here is whether convergence towards advancing little by little, as well as Japan ones living on this earth I think all issues. It's following the sea and the sky. Therefore, I think every one of us should be obligation jobs available and stable mentally and physically both people at work in the environment and their holding off the deterioration of the global environment any more proud to support and.
