Violation of workers’ rights in Korea - general strike of 30 November
Workers in Korea are facing difficult times. The rampant violation of trade union rights by the government include reprisals, dismissals and even the incarceration of trade union leaders and members. PSI, its affiliates, and other global union federations have been working throughout the year on many solidarity actions and campaigns to support them.
Comms
Once again, we appeal for your solidarity and support of the general strike of 30 November.
In order to support Korean workers you can:
