「沒有女兒的第10個聖誕節」：日本電通過勞死悲劇10週年，母親沉痛呼籲正視職場文化
日本廣告巨頭電通員工高橋茉莉因過勞自殺10週年，其母親於聖誕節記者會上沉痛呼籲社會勿忘過勞死議題，並對勞動改革可能倒退的現況表達深切憂慮。
每月加班105小時。這是一個24歲的職場新鮮人，在結束自己生命前被迫承受的工時。日本廣告業巨頭「電通」公司的員工高橋茉莉逝世至今，已屆滿10年。她的死對日本的勞動環境拋出了巨大問號，但答案至今仍懸而未決。
聖誕夜的悲痛呼籲
今天（12月25日），高橋茉莉的母親高橋幸美在東京舉行記者會，呼籲公眾不要讓「過勞死」議題被遺忘。根據日本電視台（NTV）報導，她表示：「這已是沒有茉莉的第十個聖誕節。時間過得越久，我越會想像她本該擁有的人生，痛苦也越發強烈。」
高橋茉莉於2015年12月25日從公司宿舍跳樓身亡。儘管當時她入職僅第一年，每月加班時數卻高達約105小時，其死亡後被認定為職業災害。事件也揭露了電通違反《勞動基準法》，強迫員工從事嚴苛且往往無薪的長時間勞動。
勞動改革走到十字路口
這起悲劇促使日本在2018年通過了《工作方式改革關聯法》，旨在透過設定加班上限和強制實施帶薪年假，來推動更健康的工作環境。然而，高橋幸美對2024財年通報的過勞死（含自殺）案例超過150起表示擔憂，並強調「工作絕不應奪走任何人的生命」。
與此同時，勞工團體對於首相高市早苗據傳有意放寬加班限制的言論，表達了強烈關切。日本最大的總工會「Rengo」（日本勞動組合總連合會）會長吉野友子表示，放寬上限是不可接受的，因為目前的規定已接近會提高過勞死風險的門檻。高橋幸美也警告：「任何讓勞動改革停滯甚至倒退的舉動，我們這些罹難者家屬都絕不會接受。」
