It has been suggested that this article be merged into National Union of General Workers and Talk:Louis Carlet#Merger proposal. (Discuss) Proposed since July 2007.

Louis Carlet is the Deputy Secretary General of the National Union of General Workers Tokyo Nambu (Tokyo South), a union representing foreign workers in Japan. Carlet is from the United States and moved to Japan over ten years ago, originally working as a translator for a major Japanese newspaper and subsequently leaving that position to become a full time union organizer.

Carlet organized the first "March in March" in Tokyo in 2005. The March aims to raise awareness of problems faced by foreign workers in Japan due to fixed-term contracts. Such contracts make employees vulnerable to arbitrary firings through non-renewal. Simultaneous demonstrations took take place in Osaka(2006) and Fukuoka. The 2005 march drew about 300 participants and was covered by TBS television, the Asahi Shimbun and the Yomiuri Shimbun.
