On October 4, 2010, the General Union made an official complaint to the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission, part of the Financial Services Agency, over compliance issues based on Gaba stating in its report for the 2009 financial year that there was no union at the company, and that labor relations were "smooth and harmonious", and also for failing to mention the Osaka Labor Commission case and the subsequent appeal. The company sued the General Union for libel, over an article on the union webpage dealing with Gaba's compliance. The company's suit was dismissed in November 2011. After negotiations with the union Gaba agreed not to appeal their loss.
