Thanks to the 1997 revision, labor movements today are free from the dilemma of having to choose either ‘protection’ or ‘equality’ for women. Given this, I argue that the labor movements should now step up their efforts to achieve equality. In order to take a step toward the realization of gender equality and to forge a new solidarity by bridging the chasm that divides the labor movements in different employment categories, reconstructing the present framework of the categories of ‘regular’ and ‘non-regular’ workers is of utmost importance to labor movements.
