Union - Rengo

Japanese: 連合 - れんごう

Its official name is the Japanese Trade Union Confederation. In 1987, the All-Japan Private Sector Trade Union Confederation (Zenminroren, abbreviated as Rengo) was formed as the new national center of Japanese trade unions. Of the four labor organizations, the All-Japan Trade Confederation (Dōmei), the Neutral Trade Union Liaison Conference (Nutsurōren), and the New Industrial Federation joined after dissolution. In 1989, the remaining General Council of Japanese Trade Unions (Sohyo) was dissolved and, together with Rengo (also known as the old Rengo), formed the Japanese Trade Union Confederation (also known as the new Rengo). It has 58 private organizations and 15 public organizations, totaling 7.59 million members (1999), the largest in the history of the Japanese labor movement. Externally, it is a member of the International Free Trade Union Confederation, and has the Rengo General Living Development Research Institute (foundation), the International Labor Foundation, and the Education and Culture Association (company) under its umbrella. Meanwhile, a group critical of Rengo formed Zenroren. As a result, the labor world was reorganized into two central labor organizations.

正称は日本労働組合総連合会。1987年，日本の労働組合の新しいナショナル・センターとして，全日本民間労働組合連合会（全民労連，連合と略称）が結成された。これに労働四団体のうち，全日本労働総同盟（同盟），中立労働組合連絡会議（中立労連），新産別が解体して参加。1989年，残っていた日本労働組合総評議会（総評）が解散し，連合（旧連合とも）とともに日本労働組合総連合会（新連合とも）を結成。加盟組織は民間の58団体と官公系15団体，計759万人（1999）で，日本の労働運動史上最大の規模である。対外的には国際自由労連に参加し，傘下に連合総合生活開発研究所（財），国際労働財団，教育文化協会（社）をもっている。一方，連合に批判的なグループが全労連を結成。これにより労働界は二つの労働中央団体に再編された。
