The All Japan Postal Labour Union (JPLU, Japanese: 全日本郵政労働組合, Zenyusei) was a trade union representing employees at Japan Post.
The union was established in 1965, as a more right-wing alternative to the Japan Postal Workers' Union (JPU). [1] It was affiliated with the Japanese Confederation of Labour, and by 1967 had 29,426 members. [2] In 1989, it became affiliated with the Japanese Trade Union Confederation, and also to the Postal, Telegraph and Telephone International. [1]
By 2007, the union had 84,000 members. Inspired by the impending privatisation of Japan Post, it merged with the JPU on 1 October, to form the Japan Postal Group Union. [3]
