The Japanese labour ministry has added Dentsu to a blacklist of companies that have violated labour laws. The labour ministry's list includes 334 companies that have received warnings for excessive overtime and other labour violations between last October and this March. Regional labour bureaus had already individually made these cases public, though they had sometimes withheld the company names. However, not all companies under investigation are publicised or included in the list, a labour ministry official said. A spokesman for Dentsu declined to comment, and Japan Post could not be immediately reached for comment.
