全国一般なんぶは、職場の枠を越えて、ひとりでも加入できる労働組合として
１９５６年の結成以来、中小企業で働く労働者を組織してきました。

通称、かわいく「なんぶ」と呼ばれている私たちの仲間は、
東京港区を中心に２５００人。
高齢者も若者も女性も男性も外国籍の仲間もいます。
働く者の権利に年齢も性別も国籍もありません。

私たちは職種も職場もさまざまですが、働く者の権利のために活動しています。
私たちの活動の目的は、安心して働ける労働条件と豊かに暮らせる賃金の獲得、そして健康で安全に働く環境と差別のない職場をつくることです。

でも、働く者の権利のための活動は、けっしてやさしいものではありません。だから、 組合員は、お互いに支援しあい、助けあいながら行動します。

ひとりでは弱いけれど、みんななら強い。
それが｢団結」の力＝労働組合です。

The National Union of General Workers Nambu has been helping  workforces of small and medium-sized companies, as well as individuals, organize into a powerful labor movement since 1956.

“Nambu”, as our union is affectionately known, has a 2500-strong membership centered predominately in south Tokyo, around the Minato-ku area.  We welcome old and young, male and female, Japanese nationals and foreign workers alike. Age, sex or nationality should never interfere with the rights of workers in Japan.

The workplaces we service and represent in labor-management discussions are various, but ultimately, the level of union activity depends on the will of the unionized workforce of any particular company.

As for our purpose, we aim to achieve workplaces that meet the standards of safety and secure working conditions by law; we negotiate for wages that will allow our members to live well and be healthy for themselves and their dependents; we aim for work environments that are free from harassment and discrimination.  Although at times, these goals can be a struggle to achieve, with mutual support and the active participation and cooperation of our members, we have achieved them and will continue to do so into Japan’s future.  This is what being a union has meant to us.

United we stand, divided we fall!
