About to get Fired

[Useless Union]

I am a veteran English teacher, been teaching English at this small English school for now about 8years now.Lately I have been doing demo lessons for children from the age 3yrs to 10yrs hoping that their parents will sign up.

Now my employer is threatening to fire me because not so many students parents sign up since I done the demo lessons about 3weeks ago.

Can my employer use this as an excuse to fire me even though I am a permanent employee in the workplace who is not on a one year renewable contract?
I would appreciate any advice.

Seems that I recall there was a Union set up for teacher's grievances at one time. I don't know if that exists anymore. The only other think I could think of would be the labour office, or if it is worth it, a lawyer.

It may be because of your appalling grammar.

People, someone is about to be fired. Show some compassion.

Just wondering, did the OP only teach to adults up to now, and was he forced to start teaching to young kids? That is quite a different type of students.

Well, it is not that I defend him just because I make grammatical mistakes myself. Anyway, I have no pretensions of becoming or being an English teacher, so my standards are low to start with.

Hell, where is Coligny when you need him?!?

A serious answer: technically a company in Japan can't fire a permanent employee without giving you a certain number of warnings in writing and giving you time to improve (notice I said "fire" and not "lay off"). In the end though companies usually fire whoever they want and even if you take them to court and win you usually don't get enough to make it worth your while.

Oh, there have been some gaijin "successes" over the years for unjustified termination in Japan. Most notably the FG Forum's own, self-imposed, persona non grata, [SIZE="2"]R[/SIZE]0[SIZE="2"]bP[/SIZE]0[SIZE="2"]ngi[/SIZE] was awarded several years' wages for being let go from a foreign firm's Tokyo office without "proper" due process.
