December 2011, TMPCWA successfully launch the eleventh (11th)

In this activity, the
illegally dismissed members discussed the organising of all
Toyota workers not only at the factory level but including all

Region (NCR). The resolution of newly type organizing was made during
the unification of the members of TMPCWA. The new design of this
organising campaign of TMPCWA will benefit the more than
a decade of struggle specially of the illegally dismissed
Toyota workers.

families can have their food to prepare in the eve of
Christmas. The illegally dismissed members and their
families are very happy to receive it. Most of the family said that this is
one of the most happy year-end gathering they
experienced. Other dismissed
members could not able to attend because many of them could not
able to allow to use their vacation leave because of the fixed
season, but they made a confirmation on whatever
decision and resolution to be made in this activity, they are united with it.
