| Research Abstract |
(1) Japanese typical industrial relations system is the system of consensus by the actors concerned but one that the actors in this system, especially workers, restrain their own demands and grievance voluntalily and avoid friction among actors with socioeconomic transformation.
(2) Japanese industrial relations system is not, therefore, the one to constitute the new mechanism in order to settle, but the one to avoid the conflicts themselves betweeen employees and employers.
(3) The mechanism and principles to settle these conflicts have fluctuated in the developed countries, and. trade unions have deteriorated their functions under thess fluctuations in the '80s.
(4) Japanese trade unions have not been able to cope with the socioeconomic transformation in the '80s, and to meet people's needs in their lives.
(5) Especially, joint-consultation systems have not worked well under the socioeconomic fluctuations in Japan.
(6) In the other hand, trade unions under the marginal managerial conditions get their voice, and frequently come into all-out collision with management.
(7) In other words, there is another possibility for such trade aims to constitute a new framework of industrial democracy in Japan.
