Labor-Management Communication

SUBARU and its labor union have been on good terms with each other based on mutual understanding and trust. The Company acknowledges that the union has the right to unite and engage in collective bargaining and other collective actions, while the union recognizes that the Company has the right to manage the business, and the two parties respect the legitimate use of their mutual rights.
The Labor and Management Council regularly holds meetings for smooth corporate management and mutual communication. Specifically, participants exchange opinions regarding the management policies, outline of the business results, and production and sales, and also discuss issues such as labor conditions, challenges concerning work styles, and the occupational health and safety policies. In the labor-management negotiations on the revision of wages (salaries and bonuses) and other labor conditions, the two parties work to reach an agreement for revision or the establishment of new rules. For issues that might have a significant impact on employees, the parties discuss them fully before informing employees of the results.
