Economic Recovery Council

Japanese: 経済復興会議 - けいざいふっこうかいぎ

A national movement organization formed after World War II with the aim of achieving economic recovery through labor-management cooperation, centered on Sōdōmei and the Japan Association of Corporate Executives, with the participation of the Industrial Federation Council, management associations, technical associations, research groups, academics, and other experts. It was formed in February 1947 (chaired by Suzuki Mosaburo) and was essentially dissolved in April 1948. The Economic Recovery Council's policy was economic recovery through labor-management cooperation, centered on industry-specific and regional economic recovery councils and management councils within individual companies. However, while Sōdōmei and management associations placed importance on these organizations as labor-management cooperation organizations, the Industrial Federation Council formed the Industrial Recovery Council in October 1946 and advocated "economic recovery through general strikes," so even after joining the Economic Recovery Council, it did not consider these organizations to be labor-management cooperation organizations, and instead advocated economic recovery through workers' hands, placing importance on and carrying out collective bargaining and strikes.

第2次大戦後，経済復興を労使協力により達成するため，総同盟と経済同友会が中心となり，産別会議，経営者団体，技術者団体，調査団体，学識経験者等の参加を得て結成された国民運動組織。1947年2月に結成され(議長は鈴木茂三郎)，48年4月に事実上解散した。経済復興会議の方針は，業種別･地方別の経済復興会議と個別企業内の経営協議会を中心とする，労使協力による経済復興であった。しかし，総同盟と経営者団体はこれらの組織を労使協調組織として重視したのに対し，産別会議は1946年10月に産業復興会議を結成し〈ゼネストで経済復興〉を唱えていたので，経済復興会議に参加後もこれらの組織を労使協調組織とは考えず，労働者の手による経済復興を唱えて団体交渉やストライキを重視し実行した。
