EconomyKawai Musical Instruments receives first freelance-law recommendation over price squeezing
Japan’s Fair Trade Commission recommended action against Kawai Musical Instruments in June for violating the freelance law. It was the first recommendation based on “price squeezing.” The company was found to have failed to disclose transaction terms to 100 freelancers, failed to pay 98 by the deadline, and kept trial-lesson fees for 28 instructors at the low level of 500 yen per 30 minutes. It is the music-school industry’s third such recommendation after Shimamura Gakki and Sheer.
