Major manufacturers to implement automatic annual pay hikes

TOKYO, Japan - Nobuaki Koga (L), chairman of the Japanese Trade Union Confederation, and Fujio Mitarai, chairman of the Japan Business Federation, on March 17, 2010, speak after most major Japanese manufacturers offered the same day to resume automatic annual pay hikes this year as demanded by their trade unions. Such pay hikes were frozen last year amid the global recession. Their offer came at the peak of annual spring labor-management wage bargaining. (Kyodo)

                    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.
