Pyongyang, November 21 (KCNA) -- The south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions held a meeting in Seoul on Nov. 17 to denounce the puppet authorities for trampling down upon the rights of the women workers.

Speakers at the meeting denounced the Asan plant of Hyundai Motors for dismissing a woman worker for the mere reason that she protested against the management side's violation of human rights.

They recalled the dismissed woman had been on a sit-in strike for the last 169 consecutive days on the street.

However, the ministry of employment and labor, the ministry of women and families and the motor company have shunned the settlement of the issue, passing the buck on each other, they said, and continued:

Abuses of women' rights and discriminations against them are getting more serious in the production sites.

They called upon the workers across south Korea to stage joint actions to win the dignity and rights of all women workers and build a society where workers have become its master.

The participants in the meeting adopted a resolution which declared that they would launch actions in demand of the reinstatement of the dismissed woman who had unjustly suffered.
