RENGO (連合, Rengō^?), which stands for Japanese Trade Union Confederation (日本労働組合総連合会, Nihon Rōdōkumiai Sōrengōkai^?), is the largest national trade union center in Japan, with approximately six million members as of February 2006. It was founded in 1989 as a result of the merger of the Japan Confederation of Labor (Domei) and the Federation of Independent Labor Unions (Churitsu Roren). In 1990, General Council of Trade Unions of Japan (Sohyo) also joined RENGO.
