Mitsubishi Electric's shareholders' meeting was held, and new employees complained of serious labor issues such as suicide by leaving a memo to the effect of bullying from their boss.
The general meeting of shareholders was held at a hotel in Tokyo on the morning of the 26th, and was attended by 63 shareholders.
At Mitsubishi Electric, in August of last year, a male employee in his 20s who worked at a business site in Hyogo Prefecture committed suicide, leaving a memo to the effect that he was being bullied by his boss.
At the general meeting, shareholders asked about the company's awareness, and President Takeshi Sugiyama said, "There are some areas where the company's policies have not reached all employees. To prevent recurrence, we will work on a workplace climate reform program as a top management priority. ".
Another shareholder criticized the company for concealment and demanded disclosure of labor issues and other information.
After this, the appointment of 12 directors was approved, and the general meeting ended in 1 hour and 13 minutes.
At Mitsubishi Electric, three years ago, a male employee at a subsidiary was certified as a work-related accident as having committed suicide due to overwork, and a series of serious labor problems has become an issue to prevent recurrence.
