We will walk out.

We will not work without being paid. It’s quite possible that deceived staff members will try to tell us that we should work because the company is about to receive some large sum of money. We do know that Saruhashi has apparently made a deal with the devil and gutted out the company to sell ownership to two funds in the British Virgin Islands.

We’re being taken for fools. They’re making fun of us. And that’s wrong.

Regardless of Saruhashi’s transaction, the company is broke. It cannot pay us, and it is illegal to delay salary payment in Japan.

Our only weapon is our work. If we hold that back, it wil bring the attention needed to the plight of staff and instructors.

Thus, we must start planning. This is a forum for those who seek to help, plan, or find out what’s going on. No need to keep The Walkout a secret. If pay is not in bank accounts by 3pm on October 15, we must walk out.

In the comments, let’s organize. Share media contacts and details. On the afternoon of the 15th and morning of the 16th we must go to head offices in Osaka and Tokyo and make sure the media come along. Let’s start planning…
