Pyongyang, April 3 (KCNA) -- Massive actions of people from all walks
life in south Korea are being staged in south Korea in protest against
the unpopular rule of the fascist authorities.
The south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), which is
taking the lead in the struggle for social democracy and genuine life of
the workers, in a press conference on Feb. 25 formally declared it
would wage a campaign to force the regime to step down through the
April general strike and on Mar. 11 trade unions under the KCTU and the
Federation of Trade Unions of south Korea held an inaugural ceremony of
joint action of the manufacturing field at which they vowed to launch a
general strike in case the authorities make "restructuring of labor
market".
Different regional headquarters of the KCTU held roving round-table
talks and intensive rallies at which they expressed their will to check
and frustrate the puppet conservative regime's moves to retrogressively
revise the "labor law".
Mounting high are massive actions across south Korea such as rallies
and demonstrations by more than 80 000 people of all social standings
including government employees in Seoul on March 28 in protest against
the regime's retrogressive revision of pension for government employees.
A spokesman for the Central Committee of the General Federation of
Trade Unions of Korea (GFTUK) in a statement issued on Friday said this
is an eruption of the pent-up grievance and resentment at the puppet
conservative group which is ruthlessly trampling down the democratic
right and vital rights of the south Koreans.
The C.C., GFTUK extends full support and firm solidarity to the
massive actions of people from all walks of life in south Korea
including workers who have resolutely risen up to oppose the puppet
group's sycophancy and acts of treachery and unpopular rule and defend
their independent demand and vital rights, the statement said, and went
on:
Since the emergence of the present regime, the U.S. colonial
subjugation of south Korea has deepened, the living conditions of the
people have worsened and south Korea has turned into the worst hell and
tundra of human rights.
Thrown into the mire of destitution, workers are committing suicides
and some of them have been on sit-in strike for several months on a
high chimney in winter. Streets are flooded with huge crowds of jobless
people.
However, the puppet group is brutally suppressing their actions by
labeling them "illegal ones," lending a deaf ear to their strong
demands.
The south Korean workers should turn out as one in the all-people
resistance at these crossroads of life and death and thus mete out a
stern judgment to the puppet conservative regime.
The entire working class in the northern half of Korea will voice
positive support to the just actions of the workers and people from all
walks of life in south Korea for democracy and the right to existence in
the future, too, and express firm conviction that their just struggle
is sure to triumph. -0-
