The Japan Confederation of Railway Workers' Unions (JRU) (全日本鉄道労働組合総連合会 Zen-nihon tetsudō-rōdō-kumiai?) is a Japanese trade union, which is usually referred to as JR-Soren (JR総連?) in Japanese.
In 2010, a complaint was lodged in the Diet that JR-Soren was being financially controlled by the Japan Revolutionary Communist League (Revolutionary Marxist Faction). JR-Soren denied the charges. The charge was repeated by Kansei Nakano and confirmed by several weekly magazines.[citation needed]
Composition
JR-Soren consists of 11 unions and has 62,300 members.[1]
Overseas activities
JR-Soren has assisted with construction of elementary schools in China, and in 2002, established an office in Kabul to support the people of Afghanistan.[1]
