Speakers said at the press conference that accidents have occurred at construction sites one after another in recent years, leaving workers dead and wounded as businesses were only keen on gaining more profits.

They accused the Park Geun Hye regime and security authorities of regarding the just activities of the organization out in the drive for winning the vital rights as the target of suppression.

They demanded the authorities stop at once the base acts of trying to tide over the ruling crisis through suppression of workers, and set free those arrested. They also demanded the revision of the "law on improving employment of construction workers" and the institution of a law on punishing man-killing businesses.

They declared that 100,000 construction workers across south Korea would launch a general strike on July 20 to oppose the authorities' suppression and anti-worker policy.
