Guardian's Stance in the Midst of Industry Speculation

Recently, media reports surfaced indicating that Albatross Co., which operates the resignation service "Mormuri", was subjected to a police raid concerning possible violations of the Attorney Act. In response to these allegations, Guardian, managed by the Tokyo Labor Economic Union, has released a statement to clarify its position in this evolving situation in the resignation service industry.

Legal Operation of Guardian

Guardian operates as a legal resignation support service, strictly adhering to relevant laws, including the Attorney Act and the Labor Union Act. This operational framework ensures that all our resignation assistance is conducted within legal boundaries, distinguishing us from firms allegedly engaging in illegal activities. Notably, Guardian does not participate in any unlawful negotiation practices nor does it enter into fee arrangements with attorneys that could violate the Attorney Act.

The Role of Resignation Services in Society

In today's workforce, resignation services have emerged as essential resources for workers facing harassment from supervisors or undue retention offers from employers. These services are often seen as a last resort. However, the existence of poorly regulated service providers poses significant risks, as some may fall foul of legal standards and inadvertently harm the individuals they are meant to assist.

The recent events highlight the importance of understanding the distinction between legitimate resignation services and those engaged in illegal conduct. Guardian advocates for increased awareness and clarity regarding these differences to safeguard worker rights.

The Three Principles of Guardian

To further its cause, Guardian has established three fundamental principles:

1. Legal Representation: We ensure that our representatives are authorized to negotiate on behalf of employees based on the Labor Union Act.

2. Zero Tolerance for Illegal Practices: Guardian is committed to ensuring that no actions contravene the Attorney Act, including any compensation exchanges or indirect involvement with attorneys.

3. Support for Workers: Our assistance extends beyond the resignation process, addressing potential issues such as unpaid wages, failure to deliver documents, or harassment after resignation.

A Message from the Representative

Yoshito Hasegawa, the Chairperson of the Tokyo Labor Economic Union and Guardian, states, "In a time where the term 'resignation service' can lead to misunderstandings, it is imperative for us to uphold the 'correct form' of operation. Guardian continues to focus on lawful practices under labor union governance. We hope that this incident serves as a catalyst for creating an environment where workers feel secure in taking their 'next step'."

Future Plans

Moving forward, Guardian is devoted to:

• - Establishing itself as a vital social infrastructure for optimal human resource placement,
• - Raising awareness about illegal resignation service providers and their implications,
• - Providing accurate guidance to workers on how to choose a legitimate resignation service.

Guardian aims to lead the efforts towards a healthier industry that supports the rights of workers more effectively.
