For example, in the future, a 3-year contract will probably be unlikely to be renewed, I think, as it would automatically require the possibility for the employee to have it made permanent.
Everyone needs to be watching this. The General Union (sister union of Nambu) will be having open seminars on the issue in October in both Osaka and Nagoya. Check out. their website for details. GeneralUnion Org
No, the law only applies _starting_ this year. But this law doesn't "protect" you from anything; it simply says that if you have a limited term contract renewed beyond five consecutive years (beginning April 2013), you then have a right to have that contract made permanent (subject to an application process of some sort).

I suspect this will have repercussions on contract renewals before then.

So this may get figured out in another five years? That is my final take-away from the ending statements.

I'm confused. If I I am on my 6th (2nd 3 year contract) year now, 2013, does this law protect me?
