S. Korea Urged to Drop Unpopular Labor Policy
Pyongyang, July 27 (KCNA) -- Members of the Democratic Labor Party and other opposition parties and civic and public organizations in south Korea at a press conference in Seoul on July 23 strongly demanded the puppet authorities roll back their unpopular policy.

They denounced the present regime for frantically intensifying the suppression of the labor movement by invoking "the Law on Trade Unions" which had been retrogressively revised in a brigandish manner and persistently pursuing unpopular policies.

They held that the above-said evil law should be rewritten as it calls for limiting and reducing the time and scope of activities of full-time union leaders and banning even the workers' union movement.

Branding the Lee Myung Bak regime's actions to stamp out trade unions as a challenge to the people desirous of democratization, they declared they would give vent to the resentment of the people in the "by-election to the National Assembly" slated to take place on July 28.
