[KineJapan] RIP: Uplink in Shibuya

[Markus Nornes]

The collective of former workers that brought the power harassment charges
issued two stinging Tweets in response to the news about Shibuya Uplink’s
closing.

The first complains that, while Asai’s statement mentioned the harassment
charges it completely ignored the organization and its continuing efforts.
They also do their best to spoil anyone’s sense of loss or nostalgia about
Uplink’s demise.

A subsequent Tweet calls out the Asahi for the last line of their article, 「
同社は昨年6月、浅井隆代表からパワーハラスメント
<http://www.asahi.com/topics/word/%E3%83%91%E3%83%AF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%8F%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B9%E3%83%A1%E3%83%B3%E3%83%88.html>
を受けたとして従業員に訴えられ、10月に和解していた。」
https://www.asahi.com/articles/ASP4Q62D7P4QULZU00H.html
There’s been no such reconciliation in their minds. Their fight clearly
continues.

BTW, they are called Uplink Workers’ Against Harassment.

======================

すっげー見出し👏内容もUWVAHのことガン無視。どうぞみなさまノスタルジーに勤しんでください。声を上げる責任をなにもかも私たちに任せ、その後の責任をどう行使しているのか働きかけたり追及せず二次加害に加担するメディアの姿勢が、あなたたちの大好きな映画館を閉館に追い込んでるんですよ😊

+++++++++++++++++++++

これもひどいですね本当に。ガン無視も酷いけど、最後の短いアリバイのような一文を「和解していた。」で締めくくるのもいかがなものかと。UWVAHが発表した報告の文章にはその続きがあるんですから。黙れませんよ。
