Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 115 Final Battle Pressure Group
Over Tokyo Bay, the sky is blue and cloudless.A black helicopter hovered above the port of Tokyo Bay, the propellers were constantly rotating, leaving gray afterimages, and the roaring noise of the engines continued to blast out.On the helicopter, a hostess was holding a microphone in her hand, wearing delicate light makeup, and the air waves from the propeller above kept blowing her hair on both sides.

The hostess was wearing a hard hat and her mouth was slightly open. She seemed to be in disbelief at the scene in front of her, and her whole body seemed to be frozen.

"Chieko! Chieko!" A man sitting in the cabin, carrying a camera, said anxiously to the host, "Chieko! The broadcast has already started! Why are you still standing there!!"

However, under the helicopter, at the Oi Wharf in Tokyo Bay, on the cross-sea bridge leading to the city, thousands of large container trucks were actually parked.These large container trucks were driving at the gate of the cross-sea bridge at an extremely slow speed. Even though the road ahead was already empty, these container trucks still did not step on the accelerator vigorously, resulting in the formation of a super-long convoy that stretched for several kilometers. .

The combination of colorful containers is like a winding dragon, swaying its tail on the ground and slowly floating on the ground.Suddenly, thousands of container trucks honked their horns at the same time as if they were ordered.The ear-piercing horn sounded like a ticking time bomb, exploding with a bang.The sound waves are mixed with the summer air waves, and at this moment, they suddenly hit like a tsunami, and the hard concrete floor seemed to shake violently at this moment.

The hostess was already stunned by the scene in front of her. Only years of professional training pushed her to speak: "Everyone...Everyone. This is the Oi Wharf in Tokyo Bay. For some reason, thousands of large container trucks deliberately Driving on the gateway of the cross-sea bridge at an extremely slow speed. This caused a traffic jam that lasted several kilometers. And, just now, these large container trucks honked their horns together... as if they were... To whom to show... show... power!!!"

……

At 9:7, Tokyo Bay, Golden Harbor Ship Operation Warehouse.

In front of the huge steel cold-colored warehouse door, a small podium has been placed.The podium was covered with microphones from dozens of media outlets.Hundreds of media reporters flocked to the square in front of the warehouse gate.

Beside the tall iron gate of the warehouse, five dark-complexioned men in plain overalls slowly stepped onto the podium. Therefore, it looks like a bronze statue of the Dharma body, which makes people awe-inspiring.

"Come on, come on!!!" A reporter shouted loudly.

The square in front of the warehouse seemed to be thrown into a firecracker, and there was an instant commotion.A flash light flashed in front of the podium.There were bursts of intense flashes, and the dazzling white light almost flooded the small podium above.

Five men in simple uniforms, from left to right, are: Muto Masanobu, executive chairman of the Truck Drivers Association; Sawai Fumio, executive chairman of the Truck Universal Brotherhood; Kiyono Kohei, president of the Drivers' Union, and Aida Tatsunori, president of the Solidarity Drivers' Union.

Members of these five major unions account for a full 60% of Toyo's truck drivers.As long as these five union leaders raised their arms and launched a strike, the lifeblood of Dongyang's traffic would lose its blood pressure in an instant, like a withered flower that would wither quickly.These five men can be said to be one of the most powerful figures in the East.

The joint press conference of the five major trade unions officially started.

Masanobu Muto, executive chairman of the Truck Drivers Federation, took a step forward and said into the microphone: "Recently, we have noticed that the judiciary is dealing with a case about spilled objects on the expressway ground. The case involves the maintenance obligation of the expressway company. The judgment is of great significance."

"However, just a few minutes ago, this association heard that eleven expressway companies issued a joint statement. In the joint statement of the eleven expressway companies, the ultimate source of responsibility for the ground spills was attributed to violations of regulations. Overloaded truck drivers. The content of this statement distorts the facts and reverses the truth. Based on this, our five truck driver unions issue the following declaration to the joint statement of the eleven expressway companies mentioned above!"

"The members of the truck drivers under the jurisdiction of the five major trade unions strictly abide by the state's regulations on the management of the weight of trucks. However, the phenomenon of overloading has been repeatedly prohibited because the expressway companies in various places have illegally accepted bribes from transportation companies, especially allowing overloaded trucks to enter the expressway. This has led to a series of traffic accident hazards, including the problem of road spills."

"These illegal bribery transportation companies have greatly disrupted the normal order of the market, and their low price advantage brought about by overloading has impacted the wages of law-abiding drivers. Here, the five truck driver unions severely condemn such illegal transportation companies, And highway companies that take bribes to let overloaded trucks go."

"This association believes that the root cause of the overloading of trucks lies in the expressway company itself, not the truck drivers. If the expressway company can hold on to the bottom line and not pursue petty profits, it will make the overloading phenomenon continue! Once the overloading phenomenon is eradicated, Then the situation of road spills will inevitably decrease accordingly. In this regard, the statement on the root cause of road spills in the above-mentioned joint statement of the eleven expressway companies has actually caused serious misleading to the public.”

"This association believes that the case of spilled objects on the expressway recently heard by the judiciary is extremely important to the trucking industry. In fact, the vast number of truck drivers are deeply affected by the ineffective road maintenance of the expressway company. After paying high tolls, they When driving on the road, you still need to be on high alert. It is not uncommon for truck accidents caused by road spills and casualties.”

"Expressway companies' failure to fulfill their road maintenance obligations has become a serious problem, and it must be cured with strong medicine. Here, the five committees hope that the majority of expressway companies will not pursue short-term profits at the expense of long-term interests The value of human life is above everything else. The Five Councils hope that all expressway companies can keep the bottom line and do their own thing!"

"Here, the five associations hope that the Shinjuku District Magistrates Court will hear the case of Terai v. Kawamoto Expressway in a fair and fair manner in accordance with the law, and make a verdict that complies with the law!"

After finishing speaking, Muto and the other four union leaders bowed deeply to those present

The joint declaration issued by the five union leaders was in direct opposition to the joint statement issued by the eleven expressway companies.This is an unprecedented situation in Toyo before.

On one side are eleven expressway companies, which account for almost 80% of Toyo's expressway construction share.On the other side are the five major unions, whose union membership accounts for more than 60 percent of truck drivers.Both sides are super giants in the oriental industry, and each punch will cause the world to collapse and the earth to shatter.A storm sweeping the East is coming.

At this time, this huge pressure was suddenly transmitted to the Shinjuku District Magistrates Court, and to Judge Kumagai, the chief referee in the case of Terai v. Kawamoto Expressway...

……

Tokyo, Shinjuku, Eto Law Firm.

Bei Yuan sat on the sofa in the office, sipping a cup of black tea leisurely, watching the TV on the desk of the law firm.Just now, the Asahi News Channel has broadcast the joint statement of the eleven expressways and the joint announcement of the five major labor unions.

"Interesting, really interesting." The corners of Bei Yuan's mouth were slightly raised, like an audience enjoying an absurd drama.He then looked down at his watch.

There are still 40 minutes before the trial of Terai v. Kawamoto Expressway.

Ready to take a taxi to court.

Beiyuan picked up the gray suit jacket hanging from the sofa, and put it on his body, as if wearing a war robe, ready for the last battle!
