A member loses their job in the case where the member comes to fall under any of the items of Article 19-4, paragraph (1). The same applies in the case where a public interest member comes to fall under any of the items of paragraph (2) of the same Article.
When the Prime Minister finds that a member cannot execute their duties by reason of mental or physical disorder, a member has breached their duties, or a member has committed a misconduct unbefitting for a member, the Prime Minister may dismiss the member with the consent of the Central Labour Relations Commission in the case of an employer member or a labor member, or with the consent of both Houses in the case of a public interest member.
Pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, if the Prime Minister has requested the Central Labour Relations Commission to give its consent to the dismissal of an employer member or a labor member, the member may not take part in the decision.
The Prime Minister is to immediately dismiss a public interest member who has newly come to belong to a political party to which six of the other public interest members already belong.
内閣総理大臣は、公益委員のうち六人が既に属している政党に新たに属するに至つた公益委員を直ちに罷免するものとする。
If seven or more public interest members have come to belong to the same political party (excluding cases which fall under the provisions of the preceding paragraph), with the consent of both Houses, the Prime Minister is to dismiss public interest members so that the number of public interest members belonging to the same party is six; provided, however, that the Prime Minister may not dismiss members who have not changed the political party to which they belong.
