        The union called for the establishment of a wage system that rewards union members for their efforts by further strengthening the method of differentiating salaries based on evaluations. Although the new distribution system has been postponed with no increase in pay, the reform of the evaluation system has become a common understanding between labor and management. The company expressed its desire to incline the wage system to be maintained, including regular pay raises, in this spring's struggle. In response, Chairman Nishino took a positive stance, saying, "Labor and management will continue to hold discussions. The entire industry is closely watching the future of Toyota's wage system reform.
