18 years ago the privatisation of Japan Railways by the Nakasone government was accompanied by the illegal sacking of 1047 workers who were members of the militant trade union Kokuro (National Railway Workers' Union). These workers formed co-ops to survive and built a solidarity campaign to defend themselves and their families.
18 years later Kokuro members are still fighting cases in the courts and continuing with their solidarity campaign.
