It is seriously flawed, however, by failing to study the consequences of the multilayered (7〜8) subcontracting system. Do all workers wear blue uniforms–even those at the most remote rungs of subcontract? This system provides Tepco cover from any responsibility for worker exposure down the rungs. A look at the subcontracted workers’ problems would be most welcome.
