Japan's top auto labour union group chief says no option to scale back wage demand next year
ReutersNov 14, 2025 8:35 AM
TOKYO, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Japan's top automobile industry union group has no plans to scale back its demand for wage talks next year despite a heavy drag on the sector's earnings from U.S. tariffs, its chief told Reuters on Friday.
"With prices continuing to rise and real wages still lagging, there's simply no option to go into next year's wage talks with a weaker stance than last year," Akihiro Kaneko, president of the Confederation of Japan Automobile Workers' Unions (JAW), said in an interview.
The group has 12 unions under its umbrella, representing a total of 874,000 workers, including those of Toyota Motor 7203.T, Honda Motor 7267.T, and parts makers.
