TOKYO (Reuters) - When Kenichi Uchino collapsed and died on the factory floor before dawn one February day in 2002, he was into his fourth hour of overtime.

In his final month at the Toyota car plant, he had logged more than 106 hours overtime, most of it unpaid. He died from sudden heart failure at just 30 years old. http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUST18852520071205?sp=true
