Note:
This is the Kumamoto leg of a national tour to raise awareness about the
continuing destruction of stable jobs and the erosion of working conditions
through what is euphemistically called "restructuring".
The organizations involved have decided to make support for the PUK teachers
one of the main themes of their stopover in Kumamoto.
Apologies for the lateness of this information. Your participation would be
welcome.
