Dog -The issue of Japanese temp workers has got nothing to do with the issue of companies being unable to make their workers redundant.

Shiuu: "Labor costs play no role in a company's hiring (and firing) decisions?" Dogdog: "No." Shiuu: "Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha."

You're off on a tangent and…

Companies that want to keep a temp worker for more than a year are required by law to offer said worker a full time position.

Not true, that was one of the ammendments to the Workers Dispatch law in 2004. The change in the law stated they could be employed…

English reading comprehension skills, as well as basic economics, are a problem for you?

The whole system of non-regular workers in Japan is screwed up, precisely because they aren't being used as needed, they are being used to inexpensively replace what should be regular work positions.

Exactly that. Japan Inc was making enough profits before 2004 and the Koizumi labor reform laws of 2004…

Labor costs play no role in a company's hiring (and firing) decisions?

You really should pick yourself up a copy of 'Teach Yourself Basic Economics'. Demand and supply of a product has more of a role in a company's hiring (and firing) policy. If there is a demand for a…

It doesn't take a rocket science to figure out that if you make it nearly impossible to fire people, companies are going hire fewer employees.

Some posters should read up a bit more on temp law in Japan.

Why don´t these twerps just make a 12000 Yen cut in my tax bill, instead?

My thoughts exactly, even a tax rebate in the next pay packet. My thinking is that there's a bit of amakudari going on here and as noborito mentioned, the banks and local governments will make…

After all, they eat it too.

It's funny you should say that. One farmer, a close friend of the family in Miyagi, grows two types of rice. One is JAL approved with all the chemicals, he sells that thru the usual channels and it finds itself on the market. He…

If J-farmers can grow 100% domestic rice and keep the country food self sufficient at the same time; Hell!... Pay them MORE & kiss that moldy $h!T gooobai!!!
