(English follows after Japanese)
グーグルでの育休・産休中の退職勧奨に反対する署名を後押ししてくださったみなさまに、もう一度お力をお貸しいただきたくご報告しています。
2023年にグーグルで退職勧奨を断った社員が、2024年に前代未聞の最大2000万円を超える大幅な賞与の減額を受けました。
退職勧奨への見せしめの報復行為として効果を発揮しており、組合にも退職勧奨を受けた社員から「家族の状況を考えると転職活動はできないが、こんな惨めな目にあうのなら退職を受け入れるしかない。どうしたらいいか」と相談が寄せられています。これでは到底、労働者の自由意志の合意のもとでの退職という労働法の理念が守られているとは言えません。
ジョブ型解雇が導入され、外資のやり方での解雇規制の緩和が進められる動きがある中、この裁判を勝ち抜くことで労働組合が取ってきた日本の雇用の安全を守り抜きたいと思っています。
もう一度お力をお貸しください。

We are reaching out once again to ask for your support after you previously helped endorse the petition against Google’s unfair encouragement of resignations during maternity and childcare leave.
In 2023, an employee at Google who refused to accept a resignation recommendation faced an unprecedented and drastic reduction in their bonus in 2024—by more than 20 million yen.
This act has effectively served as a retaliatory measure, sending a warning to others. Employees who have received resignation recommendations have approached the labor union, saying, “Considering my family situation, I cannot afford to look for another job, but if rejecting the resignation means facing such humiliation, I have no choice but to accept it. What should I do?”
Such circumstances fundamentally violate the labor law's principle that resignation should be based on the employee’s free will.
As job-based dismissals are being introduced and regulations on dismissals are being relaxed in line with foreign corporate practices, we believe that winning this lawsuit is essential to protecting the job security that labor unions have long fought for in Japan.
We ask for your support once again.
