Japanese Federation Of Labour
The , or Sōdōmei for short, was a national trade union federation in Japan during the early post-World War II era. Re-established in 1946 based on its pre-war predecessor founded in 1919, Sōdōmei represented the cooperative wing of the Japanese labor movement. In contrast to more radical federations, Sōdōmei's ideology was built on accepting the framework of a capitalist society and seeking to defend workers' interests through negotiation and partnership with management, a model that resembled the mainstream unionism of the United States. From its inception, it was dominated by the Japan Socialist Party. Despite its cooperative philosophy, Sōdōmei was not passive and engaged in militant tactics when it deemed them necessary. It played a central role in the major labor conflicts and initiatives of the immediate post-war years, including the planned 1947 general strike and the creation of the Economic Recovery Council. With the support of the occupation authorities, it sp ...

Shipbuilding Trade Unions
Shipbuilding is the construction of ships and other floating vessels. In modern times, it normally takes place in a specialized facility known as a shipyard. Shipbuilders, also called shipwrights, follow a specialized occupation that traces its roots to before recorded history. Until recently, with the development of complex non-maritime technologies, a ship has often represented the most advanced structure that the society building it could produce. Some key industrial advances were developed to support shipbuilding, for instance the sawing of timbers by mechanical saws propelled by windmills in Dutch shipyards during the first half of the 17th century. The design process saw the early adoption of the logarithm (invented in 1615) to generate the curves used to produce the shape of a hull, especially when scaling up these curves accurately in the mould loft. Shipbuilding and ship repairs, both commercial and military, are referred to as naval engineering. The construction o ...

Trade Unions Established In 1951
Trade involves the transfer of goods and services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money. Economists refer to a system or network that allows trade as a market. Traders generally negotiate through a medium of credit or exchange, such as money. Though some economists characterize barter (i.e. trading things without the use of money) as an early form of trade, money was invented before written history began. Consequently, any story of how money first developed is mostly based on conjecture and logical inference. Letters of credit, paper money, and non-physical money have greatly simplified and promoted trade as buying can be separated from selling, or earning. Trade between two traders is called bilateral trade, while trade involving more than two traders is called multilateral trade. In one modern view, trade exists due to specialization and the division of labor, a predominant form of economic activity in which individuals and groups concentra ...
