Sexual Harassment in Eikaiwa

The Japan Times has published another article dealing with incidents of sexual harassment in the English teaching industry. It is very sad that this kind of article is necessary, but it is. Sexual harassment in the workplace should not be accepted, and if it occurs it should be dealt with by employers. Unfortunately this is often not the case, particularly when the person doing the harassment is a client.

If you have experienced sexual harassment in your workplace please feel free to contact the GU especially if your employer is not adequately dealing with it. We have found that a simple request from the union can make a big difference in some cases, and no one should have to put up with this.
