I'm sure there is some exploitation going on. The video could be exaggerating or giving a one sided story (I just wanted to pay for my childs wedding.. ok..) because of MSM tendency to strike on sensationalism. Although if foreign workers already have the sense that Japan is a known place for long works hours and still decide to go for work in Japan with that in mind, then the sense of feeling exploited won't really come about. If pay is better than what is possible in their home country, then they're going to come. Also need to keep in mind of the types of people that intentionally exaggerate in order to make up a legal argument and try to get money that way. Not to mean that the examples in the video of these kinds of people, but we all have seen the video of people throwing themselves in front of cars in order to claim "accident" compensation off of the driver. But anyway, videos like those should help foreign workers be better protected from the real cases of abuse which is not the "exploited" that is the average of Japanese standards.
