The statement deplored that the worker's life is deteriorating under the Lee Myung Bak regime.

The statement accused the authorities of working hard to make a retrogressive revision of "the law on the part-time job" and "law on the minimum wages," etc., while unilaterally imposing sufferings resulting from the economic crisis upon the workers.

It assailed the Lee group for desperately holding in check the struggle of the members of the south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, opposed to the unity of the workers.

Noting that Lee's touted "economic recovery" is no more than hypocrisy and it is meaningless as it ignores the existence of the workers, the statement called for struggling to build a society where the toiling people become its master and the right to work is guaranteed.
