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.
The merger was in response to the privatisation of Japanese National Railways, of which both unions were broadly supportive.
The charge was repeated by Kansei Nakano and confirmed by several weekly magazines.
[citation needed] JR-Soren consists of 11 unions and has 62,300 members.
