Comment on the email from Masaki Inayoshi...

OK, the whole message has been posted below, as well as a comment from Paulzdeli...

My summary is in italics, and my comments are in brackets...

A positive start with a thanks for working hard and sticking with our jobs even though we didn't get paid for so long (the pay bit wasn't there... It's how I read it...) Inayoshi says that overall he is pleased to have taken over the new NOVA so far... He shows his lefty side by saying how much he respects unions... BUT!!! When checking the Union website, he says they are leaving out detail or lying about what he said (the NOVA union??? NEVER)... Whether someone is in the union or not has no influence on whether they get a contract or not (Yeah, right...)

GComm inherited a company that was not making profit (no shit Sherlock! Maybe that's why it went out of business) and salary costs are high (that's because of us greedy people wanting a paycheck every month) and they can't give contracts to shitty teachers and they can't keep paying teachers to stay on standby...

Union says "You were going to hire us all" (they also said after an interview, which never happened in big cities)
GComm says "We were going to hire the ones we liked and/or were willing to move to Hicktown Japan"

Unions says "You aren't giving anyone new contracts"
GComm says "We are giving new contracts to most but some areas are short of teachers and some places don't have enough teachers, so we will give them contracts if they move to where we want them..." (hahaha you are all at my disposal now, you pawns...)

Union says "You aren't giving us union bosses contracts" (that doesn't really surprise me)
GComm says "That they are in the union has nothing to do with us, and a lot of people applying for jobs are people who used to work for NOVA years ago (read Bob Tench didn't get a job) and we have enough teachers so screw them"

Union says "G Group sucks"
GComm says "We are following the law"

Union says "WE STRIKE!"
GComm says "WTF?"

There are 7 points in summary which are basically a repeat of what's above... Read the post below to see exactly what they say...

Thanks to the good and hardworking people left in NOVA... (the ones who we have so far been willing to bend...)

Overall, GComm is trying to get rid of what they consider troublemaking instructors and move the instructors from bigger areas to other areas where they are short staffed... They don't seem to realise that by April 1 they will have nearly nobody left as everyone goes on to fill in every ALT contract in Japan... This going to be an interesting couple of weeks or months...
