S. Korean Workers′ Just Struggle Supported
Pyongyang, November 16 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Central
Committee of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea (GFTUK)
Thursday made public the following statement:
Recently workers of south Korea are staging fierce mass actions against the unpopular rule of the conservative regime.
The south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions held a meeting with tens of thousands of workers attending in Seoul on November 11 to declare that it would stage actions for employment, settlement of part-time job and guarantee of basic labor rights and have their demands met by punishing the present regime in the "presidential" election.
They ardently called for turning the upcoming "presidential" election into a theatre of courageous actions for rights of workers to existence and great social reforms and a battle to drive out the "yusin" dictatorship. They expressed their firm will to wage dynamic large-scale anti-regime actions with the election at hand.
On November 9, part-time workers of over 3 440 schools across south Korea staged a general strike in 16 areas. They vowed to escalate the struggle amid popular support and solidarity unless their demands are met.
The strong mass actions of workers now mounting in different parts of south Korea are an eruption of the pent-up grudge and anger at the unpopular rule and labor policy of the conservative group including traitor Lee Myung Bak and a demonstration of the will to make a clean sweep of the group of traitors and bring about new independent and democratic politics and society where genuine life is guaranteed.
During the past five years of the Lee Myung Bak regime the economy and people's living in south Korea went bankrupt and workers and other people there are subject to unbearable misfortunes and sufferings.
Even according to information made public by the puppet regime, during Lee's office job chances further dwindled as compared with those in the period of the former regime and the number of the unemployed and semi-unemployed reached an all time high in south Korea's history.
The number of the poor who are unable to earn even the lowest living cost increased more than 300 000 every year, reaching at least 9 million at present. The income gap between the rich and the poor is about 18 times that of 2007.
Half of all the families in south Korea do not have their own houses. They live either in rented rooms or in dugouts, underground rooms and caves.
However, the ruling conservatives shun such sufferings of the people and perpetrate scandals for accumulation of wealth and personal glory and are keen to gratify their despicable political ambitions. They even unhesitatingly commit such horrible atrocities as turning down the demands of workers and other people for their rights to existence and cruelly killing them as evidenced by their killing of evacuees of Ryongsan and mass lay-off at Ssangyong Motorcar Co.
That is why south Korean people from all walks of life describe the five years of Lee Myung Bak's office as "five years of misrule" and "era of darkness" as it drove the economy and people's living to collapse and distress and they are ready to punish the group of traitors.
Now the "Saenuri Party" sharing the same lot with Lee Myung Bak more dead than alive, forsaken by the people, is desperately working to mislead the people's attention in a bid to prolong its remaining days and stay in power, ridiculously talking about "people's living", "economic democracy" and "revamp" with the "presidential" election at hand.
But, no one will be taken in its rhetoric.
It is the firm resolution and will of the south Korean people including workers to punish the Lee group of evil and the "Saenuri Party" in the election and overthrow the unjust society where 99 percent of people must serve just one percent of the population.
All the workers of south Korea should bear mind that they can never escape misfortune and disaster as long as such wicked gang of traitors as the Lee group and the "Saenuri Party" are allowed to go reckless. They should become standard-bearers and vanguard in the actions against Lee Myung Bak and the "Saenuri Party" and severely punish the conservative group.
The GFTUK Central Committee sends full support and solidarity to the south Korean workers in their just and brave actions to win back independent rights of human beings and build a genuine new society. -0-

FOUNDATION STATEMENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR THE RELEASE OF MR RO SU HUI
We are founding this international committee for the release of Mr Ro Su Hui because we are deeply shocked by unjust and repressive treatment meted out to him by south Korean authorities . Mr Ro Su Hui vice-chairman of the south side headquarters of the Pan-National Alliance for Korea's Reunification was arrested, on the 5th of July, as he stepped into south Korea after visiting the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Mr Ro was arrested and detained by the south Korean fascist puppets under the so-called "National Security Law" of south Korea. The NSL punishes south Korean people for visiting north Korea or sympathising with it in anyway. The NSL is fascist and a throwback to a by-gone era. The NSL is very much reminiscent of Nazi Germany , 1950s McCarthyite America and Apartheid south Korea. The NSL is also a block to inter-Korean relations, reconciliation and and reunification.
Mr Ro has committed no crime whatsoever. He simply visited one part of his own country which has been artificially divided by outside forces (chiefly US imperialism). We ask why is the south Korean regime so afraid of its people visiting the Democratic People's Republic of Korea ?.
Our demands are simple and straightforward - the unconditional release of Mr Ro Su Hui and the dropping of any charges against him.
Our committee will do what it can to raise the international profile of this horrendous case and exposes the real human rights abuses on the Korean peninsula.

General Strikes Unabated in S. Korea
Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- Most of trade unions of south Korea reportedly are on general strikes in succession.
The trade union of the metal workers kicked off a general strike on July 20 in the wake of its general strike of more than 130 000 union members demanding ban on the night work and repeal of part-time job system on July 13.
Earlier, the construction trade union and the Freight Workers' Solidarity under the south Korean transport workers' union went on the similar strikes.
The railway, airport, harbor and transport trade unions also refused to accept the authorities' demand for proxy transport in support of more than 300 000 unionists of the Solidarity which declared the general strike on an indefinite strike.
The financial union also manifested its will to launch a general strike.
All the participants in the strikes are crying out for a boost in pay, application of the 8-hour work system, repeal of part-time job system and the withdrawal of the layoff measures.
Such massive protests are an eruption of the wrath and grudge against the south Korean conservative ruling forces who exploit and oppress the working people while imposing the unemployment and poverty upon them by enforcing the unpopular economic policy.
According to data available, 2 114 workers were reported to have lost their lives and over 93 290 wounded in south Korea last year, due to labor accidents.
The part-timers in south Korea are constantly subject to discrimination no matter how hard they work and they are living fearful of the unemployment. This clearly shows the reactionary nature of the labor policy trumpeted by the south Korean puppet regime.
What is more serious is that the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors concluded without hesitation the "Free Trade Agreement" with the U.S. in the end, leaving the south Korean economy to the mercy of foreign forces, a sycophantic act of treachery of making the people's living harder.
It is quite natural to see the general strikes against the traitorous regime's unpopular rule.
The "Saenuri Party" is repeating what traitor Lee committed by deceiving the people and committing treacherous actions.
The south Korean people are unanimous in saying that the "economic democracy" and "people's happiness" trumpeted by the party of traitors are little different from the deceptive commitment made by the Lee group to "recover economy" that resulted in the bankruptcy of the economy, the deterioration of the people's livelihood, the social inequality and widened gap between the rich and the poor. -0-

S. Korean Organizations Denounce Enterpriser Side
Pyongyang, June 11 (KCNA) -- The south Korean Confederation of
Trade Unions and organizations including the metal trade unions under it
released a joint statement on June 5 denouncing the enterpriser side
for pushing women workers to death.
The statement said that a woman worker of the Sam Sung Electronics company died of serious disease on June 2.
The company clarified that at least 50 women workers recently lost their lives due to industrial disasters, it noted.
The statement chided the enterpriser side for covering up bad working environment and not taking any measure talking about "business secret" despite the investigation result by a professional organ that cancer-causing substance created in the work process has huge adverse impact on human body.
It insisted that the business side should apologize to the victims and their bereaved families and clarify the state of the workers suffering from illness.
Blaming the incident on the "government" which shunned the miserable situation, the statement urged the authorities to take thorough measures to prevent the recurrence of such disasters. -0-

Let Us Block Restoration of “Yushin” Dictatorship
Let Us Block
Restoration of “Yushin” Dictatorship
The
Park Chung-hee
military clique grabbed power through a military coup d'etat on May 16, 1961 at the instigation of the US
imperialists.
After the seizure of power Park declared
anti-communism as the “state policy” and reduced the whole of south Korea
into a killing hell and prison without bars through the fascistization
of society.
The
“Yushin” dictatorship which turned south Korea
to a terrible land with the monstrous fascist rule eventually faced a miserable
end by the people's stern punishment.
Though
more than 30 years have lapsed since then the remnants of the “Yushin” dictatorship are still rampant.
They
are advertising so-called “achievements” of the “Yushin
government” and running amuck to realize their ambition for power,
ignominiously putting up Park Geun-hye, daughter of Park Chung-hee.
The
farce to praise the “Yushin” dictator is blatantly
staged; the “Park Chung-hee
commemoration library” was opened in Seoul, TV series on him are aired, and lots
of seminars on him are held lately.
Lurking behind it is a sinister trick of the “Saenuri Party” to enlist the conservative forces so as to
regain power through stirring up nostalgia for Park Chung-hee.
The
“Saenuri Party” gentries bossed by Park Geun-hye now brand the progressives in south Korea
as “pro-north leftists” and “north-following forces” connected with the DPRK,
cry out against their ruling, and leave no means untried to win the people's
favor on the other hand.
They
impute all their crimes to Lee Myung-bak, a living
corpse, and trumpet so-called “shake-up” and “change”.
That
the “Yushin” remnants bossed by Park Geun-hye unreservedly raise their heads and make desperate
effort to seize power sparks off serious concern and bitter anger among various
circles in south Korea.
The
people from different social standings maintain that the restoration of the “Yushin dictatorship” will only result in returning the
history back to the medieval dark era, and stress they should frustrate Park Geun-hye’s ambition for power without fail.
Even
the presidential candidates from the ruling “Saenuri
Party” strongly denounce the party as a dictatorial system controlled by her,
and take the offensive against her saying that if she takes power the people
would tremble for fear reminding the “Yushin”
dictatorship.
And
those opposed to her in the party comment that she is a cold-hearted princess
who distances herself from others, difficult to have communications with, and
say that she, accustomed to the aristocratic living as a daughter of president
since her early years, cannot solve the problem of the people's living.
The
execrable history of treason to the nation should not be repeated any longer.
The
south Korean people should thoroughly block the
ambition for power of Park Geun-hye, the same as
traitor Lee Myung-bak who is frenzied in fascist
dictatorship and confrontation with fellow countrymen.
