📂 Documents Submitted by the Complainant
Date | Serial No. | File Name (Submitted) | Description |
04/13/2025 | 1 | Evidence No.04 – Record of 52 Unreported Labor Accidents | A record confirming a total of 52 unreported labor accidents at Maeda Corporation, Kansai Branch. This constitutes a violation of international standards directly linked to human life and safety. |
04/16/2025 | 2 | Evidence No.09 – Notice of Denial of Whistleblower System | A company document falsely labeling the whistleblower’s actions as a “¥20 billion abusive demand,” thereby rejecting all reports. It serves as proof that the company itself renounced its internal whistleblower system. |
04/25/2025 | 3 | Evidence No.12 – Dismissal Reason Document (Whistleblowing as Grounds) | A decisive document in which the company explicitly cites “defamation” as grounds for dismissal, thereby acknowledging the termination was due to whistleblowing. This directly violates whistleblower protection principles under the OECD Guidelines and UNCAC. |
05/12/2025 | 4 | Evidence No.22 – Dismissal Notice & Reason Document (Submitted to CAA) | A dismissal notice explicitly stating “dismissed due to administrative whistleblowing,” formally submitted to the Consumer Affairs Agency. Officially documented by the government and thus irrefutable. |
05/29/2025 | 5 | Evidence No.23 – Corrective Notice from the Consumer Affairs Agency | A formal notice issued by a government agency (CAA) acknowledging deficiencies in the company’s internal whistleblowing framework. This constitutes official recognition by the state of institutional non-compliance. |
