S. Korean Puppet Group's Crackdown upon Labor Movement Denounced

Pyongyang, January 3 (KCNA) -- The south Korean Internet paper Jaju Minbo carried an article written by Kwak Tong Gi, permanent researcher of the "Uri Institute for Social Studies", on Dec. 29 last year denouncing the puppet group for making desperate efforts to suppress labor movement.

The article noted that the suppression of the labor movement has been intensified under the regime of Park Geun Hye.

It went on:

The present regime is seeking to totally dissolve the Teachers Union, not content with crackdown, while speaking ill of the trade union's act of accepting the dismissed teachers as members of the trade union.

The Supreme Court judged the action of the management which dismissed en masse workers of Ssangyong Motors as the "necessary step for the business operation", pushing the workers to the edge of cliff.

As the workers' strike against the privatization of railways got momentum, the present regime has engaged in the suppressive operations by mobilizing the ministry of Transportation, the ministry of Employment and Labor, the Information Service, Police Agency, etc.
