====Views of the ITUC/APLN====
The International Trade Union Confederation/Asia-Pacific Labour Network ([[ITUC]]/APLN), the informal trade union body of the Asia-Pacific, supported the Tobin Tax in their Statement to the 2010 APEC Economic Leaders Meeting. The representatives of APEC's national trade unions centers also met with the Japanese Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, the host Leader of APEC for 2010, and called for the Prime Minister's support on the Tobin Tax.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ituc-csi.org/japanese-prime-minister-backs-call.html|title=Japanese Prime Minister Backs Call for APEC Labour Forum|date=3 September 2010 |publisher=ituc-csi.org|access-date=2011-03-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110929201018/http://www.ituc-csi.org/japanese-prime-minister-backs-call.html|archive-date=2011-09-29|url-status=live}}</ref>
