Louis Carlet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Louis Carlet is the Deputy Secretary General of the National Union of General Workers Tokyo Nambu (Tokyo South), a union representing foreign workers in Japan. Carlet is from the United States and has lived in Japan for over 10 years.

Carlet organised the first "March in March" in Tokyo in 2005. The March aims to raise awareness of problems faced by foreign workers in Japan due to fixed-term contracts. Such contracts make employees vulnerable to arbitrary firings through non-renewal. Simultaneous demonstrations took take place in Osaka and Fukuoka. The 2005 march drew about 300 participants and was covered by TBS television, the Asahi Shimbun and the Yomiuri Shimbun.^[1]
