Don’t leave a criminal! Parents of 26-year old karoshi victim lodge a protest with Watami

Parents (photo) of MORI Mina, who committed suicide at the age of 26 only two months after she joined Watami izakaya bar chain, requested its CEO and president to discuss the issue of her death from overwork, or karoshi directly with them at the chain’s headquarters in Tokyo on September 20, 2012. MORI Go, father of Mina, told a representative of the chain, “For the bereaved family, this is a murder case”. To the representative, a staff of the risk management department who came down to the Moris in the absence of both the CEO and the president, Mori continued, “Unless the murderers who killed our daughter were found out and expelled rather than being left unchecked, another murder will take place”.
