National Labor Union - Kokuro

Japanese: 国労 - こくろう

Its official name is the National Railway Workers' Union. It was founded in 1946 under the name of the National Railway Workers' Union Confederation, and was reorganized and renamed in 1947. Despite being subject to restrictions under the Public Service Labor Law under the occupation regime after World War II, it continued to fight fiercely together with the Coal Miners' Union. In 1951 the National Railway Locomotive Workers' Union (Doro) separated, and after a further split in 1957, the New National Railway Workers' Union Confederation (abbreviated as Shin Kokuro, and renamed the Railway Workers' Union (Tetsuro) in 1962. The right-wing (affiliated with the Democratic Socialist Party) withdrew from the union and it separated, but it continued to be a core member of the Public Service Workers' Union and was an important organization until the dissolution of Sohyo (General Council of Japanese Trade Unions) in 1989. As it consistently opposed the division and privatization of the National Railways, its members left and it became a minority union. It did not change its name even after privatization in 1987. →Japan National Railways/Law-abiding Struggle→Related Article Mitaka Incident

正称は国鉄労働組合。1946年国鉄労働組合総連合の名で発足，1947年改組，同時に改称。第２次大戦後の占領体制下で公労法による規制を受けながらも，炭労とともに激しい闘争を繰り返した。1951年国鉄機関車労組（動労）が分立，さらに1957年の分裂を経て1962年新国鉄労働組合連合（略称は新国労，1968年鉄道労働組合（鉄労）と改称。右派（民社党系））が脱退，分立したが，以後も公労協の中核をなし，1989年の総評（日本労働組合総評議会）解散までその重要な組織であった。国鉄の分割・民営化に終始反対の立場をとったため組合員が離脱し少数組合となった。1987年の民営化後も名称を変更していない。→日本国有鉄道／順法闘争
