Showing just how bad things are at Tecmo, Shacknews reports that all of Tecmo’s 300 employees are suing the company on the grounds of gross labor violations. According to the lawsuit, the publisher had instituted an illegal “flexible hours” scheme four years ago to avoid paying for overtime work. The suit alleges that Tecmo had routinely ignored over 100 overtime hours per month and has falsified documents to cover it up.

The filing asks for 8.3 million yen ($77,00 0) in payment. However, it was not made clear if it was a per-employee figure or a lump sum.

More on this as the story develops.
