Unions not to put forth wage hike demand to keep jobs

TOKYO, Japan - Central Committee members of Rengo, the nation's largest confederation of labor unions, meet in a Tokyo hotel Nov. 13, 2001. Rengo officials said they will not put forth a uniform wage increase during annual wage negotiations this coming spring, in the hope the move would discourage employers from cutting jobs.
