Yep. I think it must be a union thing. There are loads of attempts to force strikes on us (the consumers) by them (the workers). Case in point - {Link} - the Unions are angry that people are being put onto other jobs because their life has become easier.
In actual fact there are Unions in Japan and yes they do hold strikes occasionally. However their striking hours are usually between 12midnight and 5am. Why? Well it would harm their own industry if they imposed their will on the consumers, so it's done as a point towards the management.
Jerry,
