The All Japan Transport and General Workers' Union (Template:Lang-ja, Unyuippan) was a trade union representing workers in the transport sector in Japan.
The union was established in 1946 as the National Trade Union of Automobile Transport Workers (Zenjiun), with a focus on truck drivers, and was affiliated with the General Council of Trade Unions of Japan (Sohyo).[1] By 1958, it had 12,655 members.[2] It became Unyuippan in 1977, and by 1985 its membership had grown to 16,267.[1]
In 1989, Sohyo merged with the new Japanese Trade Union Confederation, but Unyuippan instead opted to join the new National Confederation of Trade Unions.[1] In 1999, it merged with the Construction and Rural and General Workers' Union and the All Japan National Railway Locomotive Engineers' Union, to form the All Japan Construction, Transport and General Workers' Union.[3]
