Expressing full support for the struggle, Kim Chol Min, section chief of the C.C., General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea, said in an interview with KCNA:

Despite of the workers' strong opposition, the Park Geun Hye group of traitors in south Korea seeks to enforce such anti-popular labor policies as the system of paying salaries according to piece rate and the system of forcible retirement.

That's why local media have described south Korea as a slave society ruthlessly trampling down the human rights, freedom and equality.

No force can check the struggle of south Korean workers for genuine life and social justice.

Jo Yong Chol, vice department director of the DPRK Ministry of Labor, said:

The Park Geun Hye group is scheming to put harsh repression on the workers' just struggle, branding it as "illegal".

It is none other than the group of traitors which has turned south Korea into a slave society of modern version with despotism and evil economic policy.

The group should be mindful that where there are exploitation and oppression, there always come resistance and that its harsh repression of the strikers and other people will bring bitterer results to it.
