The economic crisis is being felt more and more in Japan with workers facing increasing attacks on their job security and intensification of their work. In the middle of this month, there was a nationwide strike by postal workers to fight against cuts to services, overwork and better pay for all employees. Such strikes represent the attempts by workers to regain some of the power that they had in previous decades. Some sectors are starting to score some wins and regain lost ground.
