Japan Federation of Press Workers' Unions

The Japan Federation of Press Workers' Unions (Japanese: 日本新聞労働組合連合, Shinbunroren) is a trade union representing journalists in Japan.

The union was founded on 30 June 1950.[1] It affiliated to the General Council of Trade Unions of Japan (Sohyo), and by 1958 it had 27,056 members,[2] its membership growing to 38,057 in 1970,[3] and 41,961 by 1985.[1]

In 1989, Sohyo merged into the Japanese Trade Union Confederation, but Shinbunroren decided instead to become independent.[1] As of 2019, it had 21,876 members.[4]
