Lead designer Tomonobu Itagaki quit Tecmo and filed suit nearly two weeks ago in a dispute over unpaid bonuses.  Now another suit has arisen due to a discrepancy in unpaid overtime for the rest of the employees.  The suit has been filed by Hiroaki Ozawa and Tatsuo Kakuta, top leaders of the recently formed "Tecmo Labor Union", to represent all 300 remaining Tecmo employees.  The plaintiffs assert that Tecmo placed them on an illegal "flexible hours" work schedule four years ago, and since then overtime hours have gone unpaid.  A company petition claims over 100 hours a month for employees, and 8.3 million yen are in demand as compensation.  Further claims include Tecmo having falsified documents and attempting to cover up documents relating to their shady accounting practices.

Things aren't looking good for Tecmo.
