Unpopular Rule in S. Korea Protested

Unpopular Rule in S. Korea Protested

Pyongyang, October 18 (KCNA) -- The Confederation of Trade Unions and the Construction Trade Unions of south Korea made public a joint statement on October 15 to denounce the unpopular rule enforced by the south Korean puppet group. The statement referred to the fact that a constructor in his 40s set himself on fire to death in protest against the entrepreneur side which failed to pay wages in arrears in Sunchang County of North Jolla Province on October 13. It deplored the present reality in which workers are forced to meet grievous deaths. It went on: The "government" is apt to talk about "pro-common people" policy and "fair society". But, in fact, it has pressed for such policies for fattening big enterprises as the improvement project of four large rivers. The authorities should punish those responsible for the suicide and ensure workers the rights to labor and existence at an early date. If not, they would face strong anti-"government" struggle of workers across south Korea, the statement warned.
