A Collective Agreement is Not Inherently Anticompetitive in Japan: Trade Unions, Self-Employed Workers and the Antimonopoly ActCollective Agreement • October 30th, 2020
In Japan, convenience store franchisees form unions in order to negotiate with their franchisors. Online shopping mall operators selling their goods through the online platform Rakuten have also established unions to oppose its oppressive terms and conditions.1 In addition, gig workers such as Uber Eats drivers recently formed a union.2 Meanwhile, unions also exist for athletes, sole traders in the construction industry and freelancers such as screen writers. Most are similar to employees in that they mainly sell their labour to earn a living, are economically dependent on buyers and in a weak bargaining position relative to them.
