Relationship with Labor Union
Mitsubishi Electric and Mitsubishi Electric labor union strongly realize that it is important for them to cooperate in promoting the company's growth and improving the working conditions of labor union members based on an awareness of the company's social mission and responsibility, and to form and maintain a labor-management relationship founded on mutual sincerity and trust. Based on this realization, they enter into a labor contract by consent of both parties and mutually comply with the contract in good faith.
Under the union-shop system, employees (excluding management level employees) become union members after completing a trial period, as a rule. To facilitate mutual negotiations, the company and labor unions periodically hold meetings of a management council and labor council, and endeavor to seek resolutions by holding thorough rational discussions on equal footing, as a basic principle.
Group companies in Japan and overseas also share the principle of holding thorough rational discussions between labor and management, and endeavor to maintain and improve sound working conditions and workplace environments in compliance with labor-related laws and regulations concerning employment, personnel affairs, work duties, wages, working hours, immigration control, and so on in the countries and regions where they do business, as well as with internal regulations and procedures.
Notification of secondments and transfers within and outside the organization
In the labor contract established with the Mitsubishi Electric labor union, Mitsubishi Electric has stipulated that the company will swiftly notify the labor union of secondments and transfers of employees within and outside the organization for business reasons. The contract states that, particularly when large numbers of employees will be seconded or transferred within or outside the organization, Mitsubishi Electric will consult with the labor union regarding the basic terms.
