Book excerpt: Opinions about industrial relations (IR) in Japan are extremely diversified. The main concern regarding IR appears to be whether Japan can maintain the vitality and flexibility to cope with the changes in the industrial structure and technology in a stagnant world economy. The lack of opposition and dispute between labor and management may be the most important feature for summarizing labor-management relations in modern Japan when making international comparisons. Hypotheses for understanding Japanese IR have been postulated in regard to the following: unintended consequences, homogeneous structure, business community of management and labor, global competition and the needs for flexibility, adaptability in competitive markets, and transformation of the paradigm of IR. The historical development of labor relations in Japan shows a spirit of cooperation. By any measurement of cooperation, labor-management cooperation is strongest in Japan. A special feature of the corporate structure is management's role as referee between the employees and the stockholders. Other features include a continuous path of promotion, firm-specific training, built-in wage-profit system, and transit members of unions. A typical system for mutual communication is the "labor-management consultation system." In the future, unions must minimize adverse effects of competition among rival companies, individualization, and fragmentation of IR. (Appendixes include 25 references and a chronological table of IR in Japan.) (YLB)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book attempts to examine whether trade unions in Japan contributed to raising wages, productivity and firm's performance. In the western world trade unions are often regarded as organizations which prevent firms from performing well. The Japanese case may be different from Europe and North America. The book investigates who in Japan joins trade unions and asks whether there is any difference in the satisfaction level of employees, the wage level, and labour turnover rates between union members and non-union members?

Download or read book The Human Face Of Industrial Conflict In Post War Japan written by Hirosuke Kawanishi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-09 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1998. This volume first appeared in Japanese as Sengo Nihon no Sõgi to Ningen (1986). Published by Nihon Hyõronsha in Tokyo it included the reflections of nine union leaders who had taken their unions through some of Japan's most important post-war industrial disputes. In 1983 each of the leaders came to a student seminar at Chiba University near Tokyo. The talks were recorded and then transcribed with two aims in mind. One was to provide information on the events which led to the formation of Japan's industrial relations as we know them today. During the 1950s and early 1960s a number of Japan's key labour unions lost a succession of campaigns to establish and to defend what they saw as the natural rights of their members. Many of the unions experienced schisms, and the end result was a fundamental shift in the balance of power between labour and management.
Download or read book Democracy at Work written by Lowell Turner and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining interdisciplinary and international perspectives, this book analyzes the role of trade unions with respect to industrial democracy and industrial productivity. Turner hypothesizes that unions provide a stabilizing effect for industrial transition and that successful economies are ones in which union participation is assured either by political mandate or by a cohesive labor movement. Among the countries analyzed are the United States, Germany, Sweden, Britain, Italy, and Japan. Turner believes that American unions should seek greater integration into managerial decision making processes; and that unions are called on to make a positive contribution, not just a passive one, to firms' performance in such areas as productivity, product quality, and process flexibility in the competitive global economy.

Download or read book Gender Struggles written by Christopher Gerteis and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the formative years of the Japanese labor movement after World War II, the socialist unions affiliated with the General Council of Trade Unions (the labor federation known colloquially as Sohyo) formally endorsed the principles of women’s equality in the workforce and put in place measures to promote women’s active participation in union activities. However, union leaders did not embrace the legal framework for gender equality mandated by their American occupiers; rather, they pressured thousands of women labor activists to assume supportive roles that privileged a male-centered social agenda. By the late 1950s, even Japan’s radical socialist unions had reestablished the primacy of conservative gender norms, channeling women’s labor activism to support political campaigns that advantaged a male-headed household and that relegated women’s wage-earning value to the periphery of the household economy. By showing how unions raised the wages of male workers in part by transforming working-class women into middle-class housewives, Christopher Gerteis demonstrates that organized labor’s discourse on womanhood not only undermined women’s status within the labor movement but also prevented unions from linking with the emerging woman-led, neighborhood-centered organizations that typified social movements in the 1960s—a misstep that contributed to the decline of the socialist labor movement in subsequent decades."
