TOKYO, April 11 (Reuters) - The head of Japan's largest trade union confederation on Tuesday called for further wage growth beyond next year, arguing that this year's wage hikes agreed by management and labour are inadequate if they prove one-off. The trade unions will demand further wage hikes next year and the year after next, Rengo President Tomoko Yoshino told reporters.
