Admin’s Note

This news serves as a reminder of how important the work environment and interpersonal relationships are. The tragedies caused by overwork and violence are not someone else’s problem. I believe it is highly significant that the bereaved families are bringing this issue to light through legal action. It has made me feel that we also need to strive for improvements in our workplace environments and re-evaluate our relationships with others. I hope that the upcoming rulings will influence as many people as possible.
