Metal Machinery

Japanese: 金属機械 - きんぞくきかい

Its official name is the National Metal and Machinery Workers' Union. It is an affiliate of Rengo. In 1946, it was founded as Zenkin Domei by uniting metal and machinery industry unions under Sōdōmei (the Japanese Trade Union Confederation). Its first chairman was Arahata Kanson. When Sōhyō was formed in July 1950, Zenkin Domei, which was made up of workers in the steel, shipbuilding, and general machinery industries, held a dissolution convention and switched to a medium-sized industry-specific organization. At that time, those opposed to Sōhyō membership were removed, and Zenkoku Kinzoku (National Metal Workers' Union) was formed in October of the same year, centered on the general machinery union. A left-right conflict over the founding convention led to one-third of the organization walking out, and this (the right wing) would later become Zenkin Domei (now Zenkin Rengo).

Japanese:

正称は全国金属機械労働組合。連合の加盟組合。1946年，総同盟(日本労働組合総同盟)傘下の金属機械産業労組を結集，全金同盟として発足。初代会長は荒畑寒村。50年7月の総評結成にあたって，鉄鋼，造船，一般機器などの労働者で組織されていた全金同盟は解散大会を開き中産業別組織に切り替えたが，その際，総評加盟反対派を除き，一般機器の労組を中心に同年10月全国金属(全国金属労働組合)が結成された。結成大会をめぐる左右対立で組織の1/3が退場，これ(右派)がのちの全金同盟(現在，ゼンキン連合)となる。
