On 19 September 60,000 people turned out in Tokyo for one of the biggest anti-nuclear protests in Japan’s history. It’s six months since the Fukushima nuclear plant accident and the protest is an indication of just how badly people think that accident was handled. Amid continued radiation contamination affecting workers, residents and food supplies, the Japanese government of Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda is still committed to the nuclear power industry, but more and more Japanese workers and communities are coming out against the nuclear industry. The mobilisation included significant unions like Doro-Chiba. Watch video here
This rally comes at a time of rising workers activity, with a call for a national workers rally in early November.
