After making a union, he got fired, so he decides rather than return home to Canada, that he would stay in Osaka and fight it out!!! Now, THIS is a man whose moral compass is perfect!!!!
Generally speaking Japanese have some sort of image that Unions are strongly bound to political parties such as Kyosan-To or Shamin-To, which makes the idea of joining Unions seem to be involving socially unacceptable activities. That actually is the case when it comes to traditional teachers unions such as Nikkyoso or Zenkyo. They have to take some sort of blame that has triggered terrible fishy perceptions toward Unions in Japan.
Thank you Toby for this podcast. I am usually interested in entrepreneurs' life in Japan but getting outside of an echo chamber is healthy. Helping people take their holidays and know their rights is a healthy fight, but I hope it does not get too far on the left thus re-creating exactly what many of the immigrants escaped from, in Japan. I extend my respects for Dennis and his courage to maintain a happy attitude despite health challenges. Well done again Toby for rotating the interview before it ended to that side of his experience. Greet interviewing skills !

Excellent information, thank you! Dennis' story and attitude is an excellent example to others, in and out of Japan.
Wonderful video! Thank you for this wonderful channel.
One of the most interesting podcasts from you!
労働組合のこと何も知りませんでした。とてもいい勉強になりました。
Thank you for this video. I found it very interesting.
Kudos to Dennis for doing the hard work.
The OG Dennis 🙏
Fantastic interview Toby!
My God, can some people really be so selfish as to expect to actually take the holidays they were promised? Tsk, tsk.
