As if the japanese government cared about the health of the nation's workers! They just allow the slaves, err I mean workers to be worked to death without overtime pay and then pretend to be concerned about the slaves' health. Just a big joke. You have to look after yourself.…

If the government really wants to improve the nation's health, cut down on the insane working hours. And ban smoking in all public places plus raise taxes so that cancer sticks cost Y1000 a packet. All the rest of these "measures"is just useless window dressing.

yes of course, how absolutely wonderful of the government to apply their own frigging laws! Labor laws, in theory, apply to everyone, whether japanese or barbarian. Not that many companies follow the law.
