Japanese Federation Of Iron And Steel Workers' Unions
The Japanese Federation of Iron and Steel Workers' Unions ( ja, 鉄鋼労連造船重機労連非鉄連合, Tekkororen) was a trade union representing workers in the iron and steel industries in Japan. The union was established in 1951, with the merger of unions representing workers at Yahata Steel Works, NKK, Fuji Iron & Steel, Sumitomo Metal Industries, and Kobe Steel. In 1952, the union became affiliated with the General Council of Trade Unions of Japan (Sohyo), and by 1967, it had 192,956 members. The union rapidly centralized, and it undertook frequent strikes during the 1950s, which led to wage increases, and by 1960, iron and steel workers were the highest-paid industrial workers in the country. It struck deals to regulate pay throughout the 1960s, but by the end of the decade, the industry was seeing widespread job losses, with which the union generally co-operated. The union was later a founding constituent of Rengo, and by 1996 still had 193,472 members. In 2003 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Trade Union
A trade union (labor union in American English), often simply referred to as a union, is an organization of workers intent on "maintaining or improving the conditions of their employment", ch. I such as attaining better wages and benefits (such as holiday, health care, and retirement), improving working conditions, improving safety standards, establishing complaint procedures, developing rules governing status of employees (rules governing promotions, just-cause conditions for termination) and protecting the integrity of their trade through the increased bargaining power wielded by solidarity among workers.

The site chosen was the former town of Yahata, now merged into Kitakyūshū, near coal mines and with easy access to the sea. History With the opening of Japan, Western-style reverberatory furnaces had been introduced in a number of areas to replace the native tatara system. In the early Meiji period, blast furnaces were constructed at sites such as Kamaishi in Iwate Prefecture, near deposits of iron. The Higashida First Blast Furnace, designed and tooled by German engineering firm Gute Hoffnungshütte, began operations at Yahata on 5 February 1901. The low quality of output, high ratio of coke consumption to steel produced, and a number of failures led to suspension the following year; all but one of the German advisers were dismissed and the defec ...

Metal Trade Unions
A metal (from Greek μέταλλον ''métallon'', "mine, quarry, metal") is a material that, when freshly prepared, polished, or fractured, shows a lustrous appearance, and conducts electricity and heat relatively well. Metals are typically ductile (can be drawn into wires) and malleable (they can be hammered into thin sheets). These properties are the result of the ''metallic bond'' between the atoms or molecules of the metal. A metal may be a chemical element such as iron; an alloy such as stainless steel; or a molecular compound such as polymeric sulfur nitride. In physics, a metal is generally regarded as any substance capable of conducting electricity at a temperature of absolute zero. Many elements and compounds that are not normally classified as metals become metallic under high pressures. For example, the nonmetal iodine gradually becomes a metal at a pressure of between 40 and 170 thousand times atmospheric pressure. Equally, some materials regarded as metals ca ...
