Red Labor Union - Red Labor Union

Japanese: 赤色労働組合 - せきしょくろうどうくみあい

When revolutionary political parties and their leaders ignore the distinction between political parties and trade unions and promote their activities by adopting party policies as the policies of union organization, such unions are called red trade unions, and the sectarian trade union ideology that affirms such a way of union leadership is called "red trade unionism." In the 1920s, unions affiliated with Profintern (Red Trade Union International), which advocated support for Comintern as its platform, had a strong inclination toward red trade unions, and in particular, the ideology of red trade unionism was clearly at work behind the calls on left-wing opponents within reformist unions to leave the unions from 1928 to the early 1930s.

革命的政党やその所属指導者が政党と労働組合の区別を無視して，組合組織の方針に政党的方針をかかげて運動をすすめる場合，こうした組合を赤色労働組合と呼び，またそうした組合指導のあり方を肯定するセクト主義的な労働組合思想を〈赤色労働組合主義〉と呼ぶ。コミンテルン支持を綱領にかかげた1920年代におけるプロフィンテルン(赤色労働組合インターナショナル)系組合には赤色労働組合への傾斜が強く存在し，とりわけそれが1928年から30年代初期にかけて改良主義組合内の左翼反対派に組合脱退を呼びかけた背後には，明らかに赤色労働組合主義の思想が働いていた。
