On October 29, 2009 Tokyo union organizer of dispatch workers or contingent temporary workers Chie Matsumoto was interviewed at a rally to change the dispatch laws in Tokyo. Chie Matsumoto who is also a journalist is helping to defend Japanese Dispatch workers who are fired and discriminated against with no union protection or senority. The present Japanese law has allowed the expansion of these temporary workers and a growing exploitation of these workers in the workplace not only at shopping chains like the 99yen shops but at major industrial and commercial companies in Japan. Matsumoto was also fired by Asahi Shimbun after she helped established a union to demand the workers rights as full-time reporters, not freelancers as the company treated the workers.
