19 May 2006
On 18 May, RENGO held its 8th Central Executive Committee and 6th Central Struggle Committee. President Takagi reported that he had had an interview with DPJ Leader Mr. Ozawa prior to the Committee meeting (to be reported in the June issue of RENGO Monthly Magazine which is published only in Japanese). They exchanged with each others opinions on various issues, including relations between political parties and trade unions and the local and House of Councilors elections. “Mr. Ozawa asked for as many votes as union members at least in the forthcoming election”. President Takagi asked the affiliates not to save any effort to this end. The Central Struggle Committee was resolved at the session and gave its full power to act for the Central Executive Committee.
