JR Tokai staffer at Shin-Osaka station dismissed for defrauding foreign passengers. He would charge for 2 tickets, and keep one himself to claim a refund later. Thought to have embezzled 100,000 yen that way. asahi.com/articles/ASL5S3HSM…

Currently vending machines at Tokyo station have lots of "sold out" signs, reflecting a strike by employees of a vending machine company Japan Beverage. It's not a normal strike. Actually they are just following the labor law. Take an hour break, no overtime work without pay. teapawt.net/magazine_posse/status/…

東京駅をご利用の皆さんにお知らせしたいのですが、駅構内の自販機で現在「売切」が続々と発生中です。これは自販機大手ジャパンビバレッジで働くブラック企業ユニオンの組合員が、残業代未払いや組合員の懲戒処分に対し、残業ゼロ・休憩１時間の「順法闘争」で闘っているためです。ご理解ください。

#osakagaigo blatantly lies about why they didn't enroll foreign workers in shakai hoken (health&pension). If the plaintiff (unionmember) doesn't win there is no justice in the world! buff.ly/2Hgvj4H
