In this blog post, I would like to introduce the words and attitudes of Japanese officials to me, who was in trouble after being deceived by an unscrupulous businessman.

 A labor advisory agency said, ``This agency helps employed workers, but not workers who are treated as other than employed workers.''

A public consultation agency for consumers said to me: He laughed and said, ``There's no point in being deceived by a company,'' but public servants have a bad attitude to begin with. He had no intention of helping anyone in need. I felt that if a public institution does not help people in need, there is no point in existing as a relief institution, and it is a waste of taxpayers' money.

I felt like I was grasping at straws, and just talking about my problems cost me transportation expenses and physical exhaustion, and I suffered for more than half a year.Even after that, I continued to feel anxious, and my income from work was also affected. Japan has a system that guarantees a minimum standard of living when people are in poverty, but it is not working for those who are truly in need. Japan has abandoned the common people through authoritarian institutions called social welfare offices. The behavior of such officials is nicknamed ``Mizugiwasakusen'' in a Japanese proverb.

In Japan, if you receive "welfare assistance," you are exempted from paying attorney's fees and court costs if you are deceived by a bad person, so I had high hopes for this. The officials were very coercive and used sophistry to induce me to give up when I came to seek advice. I was tired of verbal communication, so I gave up on the consultation and was about to leave, but as I was leaving, a staff member stepped on my heel. Officials say they did not intentionally step on their heels, but this is the level of ethics Japanese officials have. I think these kind of officials have low ethical standards and Japan is a terrible country in terms of human rights.

In Japan, labor legislation and administrative institutions do not protect working people to the fullest, nor do they protect workers who are forced into a status other than employed workers, even when they are in trouble. Furthermore, the government does not protect the people who are in need because their human rights are threatened due to such topics. There are also posts on SNS and internet bulletin boards from people who are having the same troubles as me. However, the current state of the country is Japan, which never listens to these voices, and is driven by businesses who deceive the people and officials who turn a blind eye. The ruling party and the opposition party are probably not functioning well when it comes to labor issues like this.

If international labor organizations have any influence over Japan, I would like them to correct Japan's current working environment, which is ethically wrong.

In today's Japan, it is difficult for individual workers to find a way out when they are caught in a trap of outsourcing contracts from companies. Japan is a society where labor-related laws, which should also provide relief to workers other than regular employees, are dysfunctional.

 In Japan, there are few ways for individual workers who have been trapped by malicious companies to escape on their own. If an individual worker has a lot of money, he or she can hire a lawyer or go to court, but many of the individual workers are poor. Individual workers are not professionals and may be lured into a trap by companies by doing amateur side jobs. In Japan, if it is a consumer issue, a shopper may be able to cancel a shopping contract with a company by using the "cooling-off system." If you are not an employed worker but a contracted worker, your only recourse is to send a ``contract cancellation notice'' to the company by mail. The question of how effective this is is that if a malicious company ignores documents, the current situation in Japan is that labor laws protecting workers are unclear, as the decision may be up to the courts. In most cases, the mail is sent by specially registered mail, with the legal basis for quitting the bound job and the ...

Japan's labor laws are full of flaws. If companies sign workers to outsourcing contracts rather than employment contracts, labor laws become nearly ineffective and become ineffective.Workers forced into outsourcing contracts do not have their human rights protected.　

Japan's labor laws are full of gaps and flaws, so unscrupulous companies want to force workers into outsourcing contracts rather than employment, in order to force workers into categories that labor laws cannot reach. A malicious company will assume that it is a business outsourcing contract with just two clicks on the internet. In Japan's labor society, an increasing number of people, from student workers to elderly workers, are being fooled without knowing this kind of trap and are suffering. It is common for unscrupulous companies to threaten workers, saying, ``If you quit the company, you will be charged millions of Japanese yen in penalty fees.'' This is the situation in Japanese society, but civil servants at public consultation institutions in Japan often tell workers who are seeking advice, saying, ``It would be better to get scammed and ask a lawyer for a lot of money to solve the problem.'' With this attitude, it has become a public institution that is...
