Шаблон:Short description

The All Japan Garrison Forces Labour Union (GFLU; Шаблон:Lang-ja, Zenchuro) is a trade union representing civilian workers for the United States Armed Forces in Okinawa.

The union was founded on 1 September 1946, and in 1950 it was a founding affiliate of the General Council of Trade Unions of Japan.[1] By 1958, it had 81,753 members.[2] It undertook industrial action for pensions in 1954, a fairer wage system in 1963, against redundancies in 1964, and for higher pensions in 1968.[1] With declining employment in the area, by 1970 the union had only 25,320 members.[3]

From the late 1980s, the union was affiliated to the Japanese Trade Union Confederation, and by 1996 its membership had fallen to 14,314.[4] In 2001, it joined the new Japan Public Sector Union, while maintaining its organisation.[5]
