| National Total Development Plan is unsatisfactory (3 April 1998) |
| The Cabinet Council decided the new National Total Development Plan for 2010-2015 on 31 March. In response to this, Rengo' General Secretary Mr. Sasamori commented that he thought highly of this plan in terms that it would promote creating unique community open to the overseas. However he was not satisfied with it because this plan went on individual and concrete project without guaranteeing financial resources. |
| Retirement age of 60 should be known (3 April 1998) |
| According to the result of a research survey conducted by Rengo, it is unveiled that retirement age of 60 is fully observed in most major enterprises, but is difficult to be achieved in small and medium enterprises. The survey was conducted on Rengo's affiliates and local Rengos as part of the campaign to respond to the enforcement of retirement age of 60 on 1 April 1998. Learning from this result, Rengo requested the Ministry of Labour to take a necessary action to ensure that the enforcement be known across the country. |
