How Japanese Black Companies Oppress Workers and Ruin Lives[2014]

> All nominations were made on the following basis:

> Actual public records on occupational problems such as a long work time, sexual harassment, or abuse of power.
Long intense work hours.
Low pay.
Compliance violations.
Flaws in the system, such as lack of childcare leave or maternity leave.
Hostility to unions.
Discrimination against temporary workers.
Temporary worker dependance.
Unpaid overtime (and lies about paid overtime in the job advertisements).

It is not hard to understand this. I would bet some money on the fact that some or many of these companies are strongly connected to the Yakuza. They look like a lot of them are involved in mizushobai (selling water).
