Agricultural Workers' Union of Korea Denounces S. Korean Regime's Suppression of Workers

    Pyongyang, December 29 (KCNA) -- The spokesman for the Central Committee of the Union of Agricultural Workers of Korea in a statement Sunday denounced the south Korean conservative regime for harshly suppressing the south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) and railway workers who turned out in a general strike to defend the right to living.
    The fascist crackdown on the KCTU and railway workers is a thrice-cursed barbarous act of violating the elementary right to living and democracy of the popular masses, and an outright challenge to the righteous desire and wish of all the Koreans, the statement said, and went on:
    It is impossible to live in peace even a single day with the Park Geun Hye group of traitors left intact as it has been keen on reviving the nightmare-like "yusin" fascist dictatorship through terror-ridden policy under the pretext of security and pursuing unpopular rule after seizing power by dint of frauds and high-handed practices. This is the review made by the people of the one year rule of the Park Geun Hye regime.
    Being driven into the extreme crisis, the puppet ruling forces are vainly trying to find a way out in the suppression of the popular masses. But it is a preposterous daydream.
    The masses' righteous desire and wish can never be dampened with bayonet.
    Fascist dictators going against public mindset and the trend of the times can never evade stern punishment by history.
    Workers, farmers and other toiling masses of south Korea who turned out in do-or-die actions for the right to existence will surely frustrate the fascist dictatorial rule and bring about new democratic society.
    All the agricultural workers of the DPRK will always extend positive support and encouragement to the broad popular masses including workers and farmers of south Korea in their righteous actions to defend right to existence and democracy. -0-

Happiness of a Family under Popular Policies - The Voice of Korea

S. Korean Police Suppression of KCTU under Fire


    Pyongyang, December 27 (KCNA) -- The spokesman for the Central Committee of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea Friday made public a statement accusing the south Korean conservative group of mobilizing puppet police forces to storm the headquarters of the south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and brutally suppress workers.
    As already known, on Dec. 22 the south Korean puppet conservative authorities hurled more than 5 000 policemen into the operation to arrest leading members of the Railway Trade Union on strike against the privatization of the railway service. They took such fascist action as destroying the front door with a hammer, firing tear liquid and walking off at least 130.
    The above-said bloody suppression perpetrated by the police forces against bare-handed workers are reminiscent of the unprecedented massacre committed by the successive military fascist gangsters, the statement said, and went on:
    This is the barbarous acts which could be committed only by the descendants of the inhumane "yusin" dictators, who hell-bent on harsh fascist dictatorship, regard tens of millions of toiling masses as slaves of the fascist rule and enemy.
    The Central Committee of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea bitterly denounces the fascist action taken by the puppet conservative group to mercilessly trample down the just demand of the south Korean workers for elementary vital rights and democratic rights and brutally crack down on them on behalf of all workers in the north.
    The general strike of toiling masses sweeping across south Korea is an inevitable product of the unpopular labor policy of the puppet group and the moves to revive "yusin" dictatorship.
    South Korean people from all walks of life are now turning out in the actions of cursing the ruling quarters who make desperate efforts to pursue the pro-plutocracy policy for privatization, unhesitatingly reneging on election commitments to bring profits to a tiny handful of comprador and monopoly plutocrats in disregard of existence of toiling masses who account for an overwhelming majority of the population.
    Those forsaken by the working masses, the master of history, are destined to face disgraceful destruction.
    All Koreans will invariably voice full support to the toiling masses of south Korea in their indomitable actions for justice and truth. -0-

UK KFA Trade Union Section Denounces south Korean fascist repression of railway workers

UK KFA TRADE UNION SECTION

          23rd of December 2013
The UK KFA Trade Union section,which includes members of the following trades unions; PCS, Unite , Unity the Union and the RMT , issued the following statement today about the repression of the south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and the South Korean Railway Workers Union;
                       The UK KFA Trade Union section vehemently and totally condemns the fascist repression of the KCTU and the  south Korean Railways Union .   On the 22nd of December   500 heavily-armed special police officers raided the building to arrest workers involved in ongoing strike action at Korea Railroad Corp (KORAIL). Up to 6,500 members of the Korean Railway Workers Union (KRWU), which is affiliated with the KCTU, have been on strike since December 9 in protest against moves towards the privatisation of the rail  system. 120 trade unionists were arrested by the south Korean puppet authorities and  arrest warrants have been have been issued for 9 trade union leaders . The assault by south Korean police on the KCTU headquarters was extremely violent with windows being smashed and tear gas fired.
                                The south Korean puppet fascist regime,which just represents the interests of US imperialism and the comprador capitalists has , cracked down severely on the just struggle of the south Korean railway workers against privatisation . Other south Korean trade unions such as the Teachers Union and Government Employees Union have been repressed.
                                     All the above goes to show south Korea is a dark tundra of fascism where working people do not enjoy the right to organise and to defend their living conditions.   The strike of the railway workers is a manifestation of the towering resentment of south Korean workers against the  south Korean puppet regime which seek to reduce workers into slaves of comprador capital and foreign monopoly capital and leave the issue of the livelihood of the toiling masses to the tender mercy of bloodsuckers keen on the unethical competition of capital, and a quite just struggle to defend the right to existence and the democratic right.
            he fascist suppression by the puppet regime is reminiscent  of the "Yusin" dictatorship decades ago which earned an ill fame for harsh crackdown on workers. Fascist puppet ruler Park Chung-Hee, the  "Yusin" dictator, suppressed workers to prevent them from forming trade unions.


          The UK KFA Trade Union Section expresses its full solidarity with  south Korean workers and their trade unions in their just struggle . We believe that the British trade union movement should do more to expose the repression  of trade unions in south Korea and support south Korean workers in stuggle.

UK KFA Trade Union Section.

Rodong Sinmun Denounces S. Korean Authorities' Crackdown upon Railway Workers

   Pyongyang, December 22 (KCNA) -- The south Korean puppet ruling forces are brutally cracking down on the railway workers in their strike against the privatization of the railway service.
    Rodong Sinmun Sunday carries a commentary in this regard.
    It goes on:
    Shortly ago, the south Korean chief executive at a meeting of senior secretaries called for going ahead with the crackdown upon the strike until its roots are completely removed, terming it an unjustified group action.
    Gentries of the "Saenuri Party" vied with one another, instigating the puppet authorities to strongly cope with the strike.
    Encouraged by it, the fascist maniacs are arresting the core members of the railway trade union, searching their dwelling houses and offices and, at the same time, waging the racket of filing a suit against the participants in the strike and staging the wholesale dismissal of them.
    The fascist violence by the south Korean authorities reminds one of the evil acts of the "yusin" dictator who mercilessly suppressed the workers to prevent them from organizing the union and launching a strike while crying out for "industrialization".
    The strike of the south Korean railway workers is perfectly just as it is aimed at defending their elementary rights to existence and democratic rights.
    But the south Korean authorities branded their struggle as an "illegal strike" at the first consultative meeting for public security after coming to power. They are escalating the crackdown upon the railway workers by mobilizing all the power organs.
    This clearly reveals the despicable nature of the puppet forces as the hateful enemy of the people and heinous group of traitors only keen on the maintenance of "power".
    The puppet ruling forces hell-bent on the unpopular rule and the revival of the "yusin" dictatorship while making a mockery of the people will certainly be made to pay a very high price for their acts of betraying the people. -0-

North Korea 2013 in Review "People´s dream realized in 2013" [English]

GFTUK Supports S. Korean Railway Workers' Strike

  Pyongyang, December 19 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Central Committee of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea (GFTUK) in a statement Thursday expressed support and solidarity with the south Korean railway workers in their just general strike against the puppet regime's unpopular rule.
    The statement termed the strike an explosion of the towering grudge against the puppet authorities which seek to reduce workers into slaves of comprador capital and foreign monopoly capital and leave the issue of the livelihood of the toiling masses to the tender mercy of bloodsuckers keen on the unethical competition of capital, and a quite just struggle to defend the right to existence and the democratic right.
    The fascist suppression by the puppet regime reminds one of the "yusin" dictatorship decades ago which earned an ill fame for harsh crackdown on workers. Traitor Park Chung-Hee, "yusin" dictator, suppressed workers to prevent them from forming unions and launching strikes while crying out for "industrialization", the statement said, and went on:
    Running ski-high now is the resentment of south Koreans of all social standings against the puppet regime's undemocratic and unpopular rule aimed at reviving the "yusin" fascist dictatorship.
    The past one year brought home to the south Korean workers the truth that they have to turn out in the struggle to defend justice and truth, regain the dignity and the right to existence and bring about new democratic society.
    The struggle for the resignation of the "government" has now become irresistible mindset of the people and the trend of the times.
    The present regime will never be able to evade ruin being cursed by the south Koreans just as the "yusin" dictatorship met a miserable end.
    The struggle of south Koreans for justice and truth will surely triumph.
    All the workers in the DPRK will always stand by the south Korean workers and all other people in their struggle to win the right to existence and democratization of society against the revival of the "yusin" dictatorship. -0-
