Shortly ago, the puppet government deprived the union of its legitimate right, charging that it is granting membership to the teachers who were dismissed for calling for democracy against irregularities and corruption. City and provincial education agencies are taking legal actions against the union and there is continued crackdown on its members in different parts of south Korea.

The puppet authorities are contemplating sending back to schools at least 70 members who conducted full-time union activities.

The Jeju Provincial Education Agency dismissed the former senior vice-chairman of the Confederation of Trade Unions from the post of teacher on the charge that he spearheaded the general strike of the organization against the import of American beef in 2008.

The Jonju District Prosecutor's Office arrested and indicted the former unification chairman of the North Jolla Provincial Branch of the union by invoking the ill-famed "Security Law".

The frantic suppression of the union is a heinous move to justify the revival of the fascist dictatorship and a blatant challenge to the ardent desire and aspiration of the south Korean people for democracy.

Very clear is the real intention of the Park Geun Hye group when it deprived the union of the legitimate right which the successive regimes had not done for the fear of the public opinion at home and abroad, and set in motion repressive mechanisms to put down the union.

The union is conducting brisk education activities to bring home to the rising generation the truth about the illegal election by the ruling forces, the reactionary essence of their anachronistic moves to distort history and the miserable aftermath caused by the "yusin" fascist dictatorship.

Unset by this, the puppet group is trying to remove the stumbling block lying in the way of maintaining power and trample down the democratic forces in south Korea to build the "yusin" dictatorial system.
