The union was established in 1955 and affiliated to the General Council of Trade Unions of Japan (Sohyo). By 1967, it had 101,200 members. [1] In 1983, its membership was described as "taxi drivers, salesmen, clerks in small bookstores and supermarkets, and the like". [2]
In 1989, the union affiliated to the Japanese Trade Union Confederation, but a substantial minority of members disagreed with this, and split away to form the Zenroren National Union of General Workers.
