Thus, numbers of unions were formed under the GHQ's instructions.<br />The post war democratization period in Japan gave company-unit labor union a major role to play in Japanese labor union organization."<br /><br />That basically says that the US Army thought unions were so important to the preservation of democracy that they made damn sure they would flourish in postwar Japan.<br /><br />The development of unions in German happened more organically after WWII, but it's important to remember that German labor stability is largely a result of unions being able to draft constitutional rights into the writing of Germany's principle legal document. <br /><br />So far as I know, and to be perfectly honest this isn't a subject and know too much about, there has not been much of an effort to have labor unions and/or collective bargaining rights enshrined in a Constitutional amendment. I've always thought this was mistake.Jbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187257236494913074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-34555300403550965622011-12-26T23:39:42.223-06:002011-12-26T23:39:42.223-06:00You betray your Republican nature by your Freudian...You betray your Republican nature by your Freudian slip.
