Pyongyang, December 16 (KCNA) -- The south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions issued a statement on Dec. 12 in protest against the puppet authorities' unjust suppression of teachers under the south Korean Teachers' Union.
The statement charged that on Dec. 10 the Seoul City Education Office dismissed seven teachers of the union on unreasonable charges, regarding their right actions as hindrance to implementing the authorities' improper education policy.
Such suppression is a politically-motivated vicious retaliation to the union, it said, adding: To force the people to unconditionally accept the above-said policy, which has been rejected by the large majority of the population, is behavior that can be made only by a dictatorial regime.
Teachers of the union can never be a target of suppression, the statement said, urging the authorities to immediately revoke the dismissal.
It held that the Lee Myung Bak "government" and the Seoul City Education Office should stop the moves to revise history textbooks and all attempts to crack down upon the union.
