 It
has been ten years since the historical unification of the labor front,
the birth of RENGO. RENGO held the 24th Central Executive Committee
Meeting on May 20 and decided to implement the following seven events
in commemoration of its 10th anniversary. The following plans were presented
to the committee via a total of eight discussions at the "RENGO
10th Anniversary Event Planning Committee" and the "RENGO
10th Anniversary Event Activities Committee" established in December
1998.
1) Basic Ideas for the Planned Events
Events should not have a one-time carnival-like atmosphere.
Events should be conceived from the standpoint of the labor union and labor movements.
Events should be well balanced and realistic in terms of "people, materials, money."
Events should be planned not only with headquarters sponsorship in mind, but also including constituent and/or local RENGO in the planning nucleus.
Events should appeal from a social, cultural and national point of view.
Events should gain the support and sympathy of union members.
Events should illuminate the bright prospects of the 21st century without dwelling on the past.
