S. Korea: KCTU Launches Sit-in for Workers' Vital Rights
Pyongyang, November 26 (KCNA) -- The south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) launched a sit-in on Nov. 23 in demand of the right to existence of workers, according to the south Korean internet newspaper Jaju Sibo.

At a press conference outside the "National Assembly" building, the confederation declared that it is starting a sit-in for the realization of five priority tasks, the abolition of evil labor law and enactment of the law on labor reform.

The speakers demanded the immediate revision of labor law including the law on trade unions in order to build society where labor is respected and the right to the activities of trade unions is guaranteed.

A press release made public there declared that they would strongly protest and denounce those political parties and NA members who take the lead in retrogressive revision of labor law or who stand against the abolition of evil law on labor and the enactment of a bill on labor reform.
