A tragedy occurred in late April.
The following points are considered as background:
From April 2019, thermal power plants of TEPCO and Chubu Electric Power were transferred to JERA, and full-scale integration of both thermal power was realized.
However, the treatment conditions for both employees differ in detail, and respective labor union has opposed to unify this, so the TEPCO and Chubu employees are temporarily transferred to JERA while being registered at the respective old work places . Essentially, they should be full-time employees of JERA, but it has not been realized from such circumstances.
On the other hand, JERA has a concept of IPO .
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry(METI) wants to realize an IPO in order to realize the re-organization of the Industry and publicize it to politicians, and one of JERA executive(from TEPCO) who relies on the backing of the METI resonates the idea of IPO. To realize IPO, it is not desirable for most employees to be temporary transfer.
It seems that Human Resource Group Manager is strongly required by the executive to achieve transfers of all employees. He is believed to have suffered from such one-sided requests. That’s too sorry.
