本研究通过考察临时工参与劳动运动的情况和工会组织临时工的情况，对日本当代的劳动运动状况进行了调查。Koyo Ceiling Techno Co.Ltd.的临时工，作为一个案例研究。这家公司的工人加入了JMIU，这与通常的工会不同。临时工在当地总部和中央办公室的支持下，指控该公司使用变相合同。这些工人通过与派遣机构和工人被派遣地的客户谈判，获得了正常的直接就业。工人们正式反对公司把提高生产率和降低成本放在首位。此外，他们从根本上反对只针对正式雇员的劳工运动，这一事件对临时工的组织产生了重大影响。

This study investigated the conditions of contemporary labor movements in Japan, by examining the participation of temporary workers in labor movements, and the organization of temporary workers by labor unions. Temporary workers at Koyo Ceiling Techno Co.Ltd., were investigated as a case study. The workers in this company joined the JMIU, which is different from usual labor unions. The temporary workers with the support of their local headquarters and the central office, brought charges against the company, for using disguised contracts. The workers obtained regular, direct employment as a result of negotiations with dispatching agencies and clients where the workers were dispatched. The workers made a formal objection to the company, which was giving top priority to productivity improvements and cost reductions. Moreover, they fundamentally objected to labor movements that are only for regular-employees.This case had a significant effect on the organization of temporary workers.
