j.union Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Masanobu Yoshikawa) has examined the potential for labor unions to provide career support, in collaboration with Keiko Hara, Professor at Saitama Gakuen University (Visiting Researcher at the Center for Research and Development of Psychological Support for Working People), and others.
