A Japanese-Brazilian temporary worker complained of not feeling well while working at a factory and died suddenly of heart disease.

Since it was suspected that the worker had died of overwork, the lawyer, at the request of the bereaved family who returned to their home country, used a court procedure called “preservation of evidence,” and collected evidence related to working hours, such as time cards. As a result, it was found that the worker had worked as much as 100 hours of overtime during the month immediately preceding his death.

Based on the evidence gathered, an application for workers' compensation was filed at the Labor Standards Inspection Office. As a result, the worker was found to have died of overwork, and the bereaved family in his home country was entitled to receive bereaved family pension compensation. In addition, the bereaved family was later able to file a lawsuit against the temporary employment agency and the company that ran the factory where the worker was employed, claiming that the companies had not taken the worker's health into consideration. The family received compensation from these companies for damages.

A worker of African origin was seriously injured when he was trapped under a product made of concrete while working at a factory as a temporary worker. Fortunately, the worker survived, but neither the factory nor the temporary employment agency filed a claim for workers' compensation, and instead fired the worker.

After consulting with our lawyer, the worker applied for workers' compensation, and as a result, the worker was able to receive compensation for the time he was unable to work and for the aftereffects of the injuries. The worker was also able to file a lawsuit against the temporary employment agency and the company that operated the factory, claiming that they failed to ensure the worker's safety, and was awarded compensation for damages.

A technical intern from Vietnam was forced to punch a time card that was different from his actual work, was only partially paid for overtime, and was not allowed to take paid leave.

After consulting with a lawyer through Facebook and filing a labor tribunal case with the court, the technical intern was able to receive payment for unpaid overtime and was able to return to his home country after receiving paid leave.

A Chilean worker with permanent resident status was bullied and sometimes beaten by a senior Japanese worker at his workplace. In addition, the senior worker made false reports to the president that the worker "did not take his work seriously" and "did not do what he was told." The president, believing the false reports, fired the worker.

The worker consulted a lawyer through a supporter and filed a labor tribunal case with the court, which resulted in the payment of a settlement based on the premise that the dismissal was invalid.

A technical intern trainee from Vietnam was told that his training was terminated and that he would have to return to his home country, even though he had one year remaining in his technical internship period.

Unconvinced, the trainee consulted a lawyer through an interpreter and filed a lawsuit against the company, claiming that the termination was unjust and demanded payment of wages for the remainder of the training period. At the trial, the court showed understanding of the trainee's claims, and a settlement was reached in which the company paid approximately 60% of the amount demanded.

A female worker from China with "Engineer/Humanities/International Services" status of residence was repeatedly sexually harassed by the company president. When the worker resisted, however, the president fired her.

Under the guidance of her lawyer, the female worker negotiated with the company through the labor union. As a result, the company admitted the fact of sexual harassment and instead of her resignation, the company paid the female worker compensation for the sexual harassment and a settlement payment for having tried to fire her.

A worker from the Philippines working as a system engineer with "Engineer/Humanities/International Services" residence status resigned from a company in the middle of his contract period because the company he was working for treated him poorly and he could not trust it. The company filed a lawsuit against him, claiming damages for breach of contract.

The worker requested the services of a lawyer introduced by the labor union, and during the trial, argued that the company's actions were illegal and that the company had suffered no damages. As a result, he did not need to pay any damages and was able to come to a settlement with the company.
