![Feb. 16, 2010: This is a small group of picketers outside the south gate of Toyota Motor Corp's Tsutsumi plant in Toyota, City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. They were here to support 40 year old Osamu Miura who was laid off from this Toyota plant at the end of 2009 when his contract was no longer renewed. Since then Miura has been on a campaign to get his job back and visits this plant gate daily in his Toyota uniform asking if he can go back to work. He also has begun handing out flyers describing his dilemma to workers entering and exit the gate during shift changes. The ones supporting Miura these photos are representatives of local labor organizations who were wearing signs that read "workers are not disposable", and Miura himself wore a sign that read "Please put me to work". The Tsutsumi plant is a massive complex where Toyota manufactures the Prius, Camry, Premio and other models. ..ID info:..Center - [OSAMU MIURA]: glasses, blue rain pants, blue sign on his chest, tan umbrella, dark Toyota cap, white Toyota factory worker jacket, boots, scruffy unshaven face...[HIDETOMO HIRATA]: glasses, tan chino pants, blue & green tweed pattern down jacket, red armband, white and sepia tweed pattern umbrella (All Japan Metal and Information Machinery Workers' Union - or JMIU).](http://cdn.c.photoshelter.com/img-get/I0000Ym3TnrxweCs/t/150/I0000Ym3TnrxweCs.jpg)

![Feb. 16, 2010: This is a small group of picketers outside the south gate of Toyota Motor Corp's Tsutsumi plant in Toyota, City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. They were here to support 40 year old Osamu Miura who was laid off from this Toyota plant at the end of 2009 when his contract was no longer renewed. Since then Miura has been on a campaign to get his job back and visits this plant gate daily in his Toyota uniform asking if he can go back to work. He also has begun handing out flyers describing his dilemma to workers entering and exit the gate during shift changes.
