Advocating for your rights as an employee at Berlitz.

Begunto NUGW is a branch of the National Union of General Workers Tokyo “Nambu,” operating within Berlitz Japan schools in the Kanto region.

Nambu has not only been helping workforces at large businesses, such as Berlitz Japan, but also small and medium-sized companies, as well as individuals. The union has been in operation since 1956, and has a 2500-strong membership centered predominately in south Tokyo, around the Minato-ku area.  Nambu welcomes old and young, male and female, Japanese nationals and foreign workers alike.

The workplaces Nambu serves and represents in labor-management discussions are various, but ultimately, the level of union activity depends on the will of the unionized workforce of any particular company. In Begunto NUGW, the union has been asserting workplace rights at Berlitz since 1995.

We aim to achieve a workplace that exceeds the standards of safety and secure working conditions by law; we negotiate for wages that will allow our members to live well and be healthy for themselves and their dependents; and we aim for work environments that are free from harassment and discrimination.
