16 March, 2011Under the umbrella of JTUC-RENGO, IMF-JC and other trade unions in Japan have set up a special account to receive donations for trade union members who have lost so much as a result of the 2011 Eastern Japan earthquake and tsunami.
JAPAN: IMF-JC reports that after receiving many messages of solidarity from around the world, a special co-ordination meeting of JTUC-RENGO, the Japanese Trade Union Confederation, decided to set up a special account to receive solidarity donations.
IMF-JC supports this unified receiving of donations through JTUC-RENGO, as it will more effectively concentrate trade union efforts in responding to the needs of members following the earthquake and tsunami that occurred on March 11, 2011.
Donations will go towards union members and their families that have lost so much due to the tragedy.
The account will be managed centrally through JTUC-RENGO, and IMF-JC requests that any IMF affiliates sending donations to the account should put "IMF" at the end of the name under "sender" and notify IMF-JC at:
