Yesterday at 2:00 p.m. Begunto Execs, Nambu General Secretary Nakajima and union members joined to face off against Berlitz Japan Management and their lawyers to demand Catherine Campbell be given her job back after returning from Canada due to cancer treatment.
Though Management claimed too much time had lapsed, when Campbell asked Human Resources directly to respond to her question, the lawyers answered instead. The question was simple, could she have her job back because the Work Rules has a specific clause on page 19 allowing MGT to waive the time restriction when asking for time off due to illness. A specific email from 2004 was quoted, which was a response to the Union asking MGT to not make time off too specific because some illnesses were hard to predict.
Ironically Campbell was the one asking for the ability to extend time off years before she would face this illness.
The question remains, now that she is back and wants to work does Berlitz have the compassion to let her?
