General Federation of Japan Printing and Publishing Workers' Unions
The General Federation of Japan Printing and Publishing Workers' Unions (Japanese: 全国印刷出版産業労働組合総連合会, Zeninsoren) is a trade union representing workers in the printing industry.
The union was founded in 1953, and affiliated to the General Council of Trade Unions of Japan (Sohyo).[1] By 1970, it had 18,700 members,[2] but fell to 13,376 by 1985.[1]
In 1989, Sohyo merged into the new Japanese Trade Union Confederation, but Zeninsoren instead opted to join the new National Confederation of Trade Unions.[1] By 2019, its membership had fallen to 3,286.[3]
