Some observations.

“the president joined about 10 people including company employees and tried to force the six
workers, who were sleeping in a company dormitory, to get into a minibus he had prepared to take them to Narita Airport.”

If someone tries to force people into a minibus, then that’s attempted kidnapping.

“The trainees resisted, and plans to take them to the airport were abandoned, but one of the trainees was left with a broken leg after jumping out of a window on the second floor of the dormitory. Two others suffered bruises and scratches during the row.”

It’s unclear what caused the trainee to jump out of the window, but of the two who suffered bruises and scratches during the incident - that’s clearly battery.

It’s also interesting that these illegal actions are described as a “row”.

“The three injured workers were later taken into the custody of the Zentoitsu Workers Union, which supports foreign trainees and apprentices. The remaining three were taken to Narita Airport by company officials and returned home.”

The remaining three were taken? Kidnapped more like.

These people have also assumed the responsibilities of customs officials and deported people from the country. Not a crime though I think.

So, we’ve got:

Attempted kidnapping.
Actual kidnapping.
Battery (and probably Assault too)

And what do we have from the ‘Justice’ Ministry:

“A Justice Ministry official said there was a possibility the company could be punished.”

Pathetic.

社長は社員ら約１０人を伴い、社員寮で寝ていた６人を用意したマイクロバスに無理やり乗せ、成田空港に連れて行こうとした。

これが誘拐、おいおい、誘拐の構成要件みてみろよ。
ちょっと無理じゃないかい？

実習生が抵抗し、空港行きは中止されたが、その際、実習生１人が寮の２階から飛び降り左足骨折。他の２人ももみ合いで腕に打ち身や擦り傷を負った。

たしかに、暴行・傷害になりうるが、あんた、わすれちまったのかい？自転車に乗ってた外人が日本人と口論になって外人が日本人ボコボコにしたとき、警察は示談を最初すすめていたろう。

　このクリーニング屋、行政罰で３年間の受け入れ停止処分としてもちと甘いかもしれんな。

　こうした事件というのは日本に限ったことではないが、しかし、こうしたことが、ちゃんと処理できないなら、大量移民の受け入れはまだまだ早い、ということだろう。

　それよか、政府は有道くんブログにうろついて、でまかせばっか言っている、こうした日本語のしゃべれない外国人の増加についてもっと真剣に考えろよ。
