Toshiba Corp had Corporate Secret Police "OogiKai" to watch and dominate employees. OogiKai listed and reported 500 or more remarkable employees, tracing and staking out them. OogiKai even disturbed their job and alterred their personal data to fire them.
Labor Division of Toshiba Head Office organized OogiKai in 1969 to dominate employees and Toshiba Head Office standardized OogiKai for every offices in Japan in fall of 1973. OogiKai had 1,800 members in Apr 1974 and 2,500 in 1984. So many Toshiba Labor Union Tops are from OogiKai. The one of the tops of Japanese Electrical Electronic & Information Union (JEIU), Katsutoshi Suzuki who got employed in Toshiba Komukai Factory in 1957 is the one.
OogiKai has been explained as a report by Journalist Satoshi Kamata with Mr. Hitoshi Ueno and Mr. Tetsuji Matsuno of "Toshiba Accusers Union against Discrimination of Salary" of Toshiba Fuchu Labor Union in Weekly Journal "Kinyobi" on May 12, 1995 in Japanese.

I believe Toshiba OogiKai member list is true with no doubt. But rather, the members were originally spies on police from Toshiba Corp sent them in secret to prepare the future problem with the most troublesome Toshiba Labor Union. And I believe true prime OogiKai members were players with muscular strength of Toshiba Fuchu Rugby Club, Toshiba Baseball Club and Toshiba Fuchu Baseball Club. At least, so are current Toshiba OogiKai prime members. Especially, the rugby club is historically any status as Toshiba elite because Chair Taizo Nishimuro, President Tadashi Okamura, some executives and scientists joined it.
I has felt that spies on police from Toshiba exists now from my some case. I want to investigate whether the members joined police straight without the intermediate career.
Toshiba employees tend to put the blame on police.
In famous "Toshiba Call Center Worker's Abusive word to Customer Akky and Akky's Homepage for Claim to Toshiba Corp" Affair (in 1999), Toshiba Corp and Toshiba Labor Union announced together that the worker was an employee from police. However the worker was a real formerly corporate baseball club player of Toshiba Corp, I heard as an insider or Toshiba Kantoh Information System (KIS) employee.
It was so earlier in 2003 that Toshiba Corp instituted CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) Office or joined United Nations Procurement Division "The Global Compact" as operation for its own stock value. Nevertheless, Toshiba never admits its own mistakes "300 million yen" Affair unsolved and Toshiba "OogiKai" positively.
In Oct 2004, Toshiba Accuser Union against Discrimination of Salary homepage express Toshiba Corp (Japan) moved and moves Corporate Secret Police Toshiba OogiKai to dominate employees but they express Toshiba OogiKai started in unclearly 60's not in 1969 or the next year of "300 Million Yen" Affair unsolved (on Dec 10, 1968). They didn't do it before.

At Toshiba Stockholder Conference on Jun 25, 2004, Toshiba (Komukai Factory) laborers Shimono and Sada (or Tadashi) Honda said they had a proof that now Toshiba OogiKai makes the schedule of this year and they questioned "Does Toshiba OogiKai exist now ?". The Toshiba Executives Takeshi Iida and Yasuo Morimoto answered "We don't need to answer your question because Toshiba OogiKai was an unathorized group and we heard Toshiba OogiKai was gone about 10 years ago."
5 policemen tapped communist Yasuo Ogata. The affair was opened on Nov 27, 1986. The policemen used Toshiba employee Masahiko Takita's home and Toshiba employee Kouhachi Shida touched the affair. A policeman was Mr. Norimoto Takita who is an Masahiko Takita's father and Shida's younger co-worker in Shida's police days. Unnaturally Mr. Ogata didn't blame Toshiba Corp at all. He was Toshiba's side in his book about the affair. It was the same as Toshiba laborers don't want to ruin Toshiba Corp. (I believe Mr. Ogata was very close to Toshiba laborers or crazy communists therefore he was tapped by Toshiba head and police. Mr. Ogata maybe may be a secret Toshiba laborer.)
Anyway, Toshiba Corp is just North Korea. So evil, we as the ordinary can't believe modern Japan had Toshiba OogiKai fact.
