(The Japan Times Online)
May 28, 2002
The National Railway Workers Union (Kokuro) voted Monday to drop lawsuits filed against the Japan Railway group over the dismissal of former Japanese National Railways employees who were let go when the railway was privatized in 1987.
After a heated debate by Kokuro leaders at the union's extraordinary convention in Tokyo, the union endorsed a proposal to cancel litigation by a vote of 77-31.
