The driver filed the suit against the West Japan Railway earlier this year after it fined him for a work mix-up in June 2020 which caused the delay, the Yomiuri Shimbun daily reported.The driver had been scheduled to move an empty train to a garage in Okayama station in western Japan, but went to the wrong platform.
The company argues it was appropriate to dock the driver's wages because no labour was performed during the mix-up. "The reason why this became a lawsuit is differences over how to interpret" the cause of the delay, he said, adding that the company had applied its "no work, no pay" rule in docking the driver's wages.
