摘要：In recent years there has been a marked increase in the number of labor disputes, particularly disputes involving individual cases, an increase reflected in a corresponding increase both in the numbers having resort to the One-stop Worker Consultation Corners in Prefectural Labor Bureaus and also in cases brought before the civil courts. A variety of factors are responsible: the lengthening and the deepening of the recession following the bursting of the asset bubble; increasing labor market competition, both at home and from abroad; the increasing diversity of forms of employment and the changes in the traditional Japanese employment system characterized by long-term employment and nenko (seniority-constrained) pay and promotion systems. But one aspect is certainly that the functioning of in-house grievance processing systems has declined and more complaints are being brought out into the open.
