Labor Management Relations

Cooperative Labor Management Relations

Daikin Industries believes that cooperative labor management relations are the foundation of company management. We therefore place the utmost emphasis on equality of labor and management, as well as mutual trust between both sides. Our stance has, and always will be, to face the truth in solving all problems, and to speak frankly and draw clear lines between what is and what is not possible.

As soon as a business plan is cleared, management holds a meeting to explain it to the labor union. The labor contract states that at this time there shall be labor management discussion on matters such as employee working conditions and employee status. Results of this bargaining are immediately reported to employees of the various divisions.

Daikin management and labor engage in frank discussions. At the fiscal year 2008 labor management meeting, both sides exchanged opinions on key issues including adhering to the fiscal year 2008 budget.
