Trial Testimony Results

September 26, 2011

September 15th, Thursday
Trial Testimony 10:15am-12pm

outcome:
Catherine Campbell gave her testimony, answering all the lawyers’ questions about how the 2007-08 strikes were legally carried out according to the Japanese law. It has been over two years since management sued the union, alleging that the strikes were intended to damage the company. We have yet to see any evidence to support that claim.
This was the last trial and testimony, and the next step is waiting to hear the verdict. The date for this had not yet been set.
