SHIZUOKA – About 250 non-Japanese staged a protest march Sunday on the streets of Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, to call for employment and assistance for foreign temporary workers who have lost their jobs to the deepening recession.
Many of the protesters are Japanese-Brazilians who belong to labor unions. They came to the protest from Shizuoka, Aichi, Gifu and Mie prefectures, which all host group firms of Toyota Motor Corp. and Suzuki Motor Corp.
