JFTC inspects three Persol staffing units over suspected antitrust violations
Persol said the Japan Fair Trade Commission carried out on-site inspections on June 2 at Persol Tempstaff, Persol Excel HR Partners and MC Partners over suspected Antimonopoly Act violations tied to worker dispatch services, and the company said it will cooperate fully with the investigation. The case is still at the inspection stage, but it lands in a large business: Persol said it had 74,926 consolidated employees as of March 31, with 34,149 in Staffing, and that the segment count included about 20,000 indefinite-term dispatch staff while excluding about 100,000 registered temporary dispatch workers.
