  "... the operator will draw up measures for preventing a recurrence and submit them to the ward by April 4." This is going to be easy for the hotel. "In order to prevent terrorist activities in the ward, we will not rent rooms to those who could be the victims of terrorism."

  The hotel should be forced to close for a month to allow the management time to reflect on their illegal activities.

  The hotel should have known better in the first place not to book the communist-leaning Nikkyo-so. Then they never would have had to deal with this mess.

  Expensive lesson learned for Prince, but maybe the other hotels will also learn from this.

  Nikkyo-so is not "communist-leaning." This is just a cheap shot aimed at smearing the name of the innocent party in all this. At worst, the union try to work as a social conscious in the Japanese education system, a task that is getting harder and harder with the right-wing goons in their trucks and the right-wing goons in the bureaucracy. If you want to lay the boot into somebody, I would suggest that you get out your Dr Marteens and lay into 1) The clowns in the trucks that want to take away not just the rights of the teachers to unionize, but also a lot of the other rights in Japan which are already under threat. 2) The clowns in the hotel for not having the moral courage to stand up to the clowns in the trucks but rather discriminating against the teachers for engaging in their right to unionize. 3) The clowns in the local government and judiciary for taking a very big stick to the clowns in the hotel.....

  Ummm... historically, the Nikkyo-so have openly supported the Japanese Communist Party and the Japanese Socialist Party and are openly leftist.

  In a democracy, every voice should be heard and not shouted down like the black van people are doing to the teachers. And the hotel aided the right-wing by canceling the teachers' reservations and, effectively, canceling the convention. Therefore, whether the teachers union is left-leaning, hard-core communist, or openly leftist doesn't matter. They were shouted down by the hotel and the black van people.

  If Price Hotels did their homework and never had agreed to letting the Nikkyo-so host the meeting, then they never would be in this mess, I agree.

  The Seibu Holding group admitted as much and stated that they should have done their due diligence when initially approached by the Nikkyo-so rather than just agreeing.
