Japan Broadcasting Labour Union

The Japan Broadcasting Labour Union (Japanese: 日本放送労働組合, Nipporo) is a trade union representing workers in the broadcasting sector in Japan.

The union was founded in March 1948, after a split in the official NHK company union.[1] It was a founding affiliate of the General Council of Trade Unions of Japan, and by 1958 it had 7,000 members.[2] Its membership grew to 13,326 by 1970,[3] then fell to 12,876 by 1985. In 1988, it merged with other unions to form the new Federation of All-NHK Labour Unions, while retaining its identity.[4] Since 2017, it has been part of the Japan Federation of Media, Advertising, Motion Picture, and Theater Labor Unions.[5]
