From what I have heard Japanese companies hate unions. According to a cousin that works in the automotive industry, if a car factory that belongs to a Japanese company tries to unionize they will shut the factory down and let it die rather than deal with a union. I'd assume that comes from the ideal that your loyalty should be with the company and if you're with a union your loyalty lies with them. Which is a fair criticism if you run a decent company that takes care of its staff, but Japan is also infamous for so-called 'black companies' that abuse their workers so that could be a roll of the dice.
