My labor condition has been worse and worse. I work 12:00 pm every weekday and I also work in the weekend. I can't speak German though they promised to have a chance to study before I come from Japan. And there is no support of tax or penstion plan. The overpayments of my salary was delayed for 3 month. There was no explain to me. My boss seems to tell a lie, I have a working VISA but I don't have any clue to fight with such a discrimination from an accounting manager, Mr.Ohno and Director,Mr.Watanabe and so on. Please give me the way to protect myself without additionl cost and I'd like to get compensation bacause I've lost much time, money and friends since I come to Germany. I attached the emails which I contacted to KDDI managers. I'm very sorry that they're written in Japanese. Thank you very much for your help in advance. Discriminative working condition under the working VISA in Germany

I’m an Japanese and I work in KDDI Germany which an Japanese Telecom Company
I’ve worked in Germany for about one and half a year. My labor condition has been
worse and worse. I work 12:00 pm every weekday and I also work in the weekend.

I can’t speak German though they promised to have a chance to study before I
come from Japan. And there is no support of tax or penstion plan.
The overpayments of my salary was delayed for 3 month. There was no explain
to me. My boss seems to tell a lie, I have a working VISA but I don’t have any
clue to fight with such a discrimination from an accounting manager, Mr.Ohno
and Director,Mr.Watanabe and so on.

Please give me the way to protect myself without additionl cost and I’d like to
get compensation bacause I’ve lost much time, money and friends since
I come to Germany.

I attached the emails which I contacted to KDDI managers. I’m very sorry that
they’re written in Japanese.

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

You need to get any and all assets you own out of your name, and quickly. Then, blog and blab all you want.

Like Cooper, I am sorry the UFW can't find any response to criticism except to attack the critics. There is too much there for it to be possible to sweep it under the rug.

But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any. —Mahatma Gandhi The UFW forgot to mention that the t-shirts were made in Saipan by slave laborers—talk about a country that could use a union.

Unlovable Freeloading Wankers?

Unfathomable Flingers of Writs?

Uncontrollable Farting Wallabees?
