Reinstatement of Fired Teachers Demanded in S. Korea
Pyongyang, July 12 (KCNA) -- The Seoul Branch of the south Korean Teachers Union held a rally on July 7 demanding the reinstatement of union members laid off for no ground.

At the rally speakers charged that the education authorities have not yet honored the promise to reinstate the dismissed teachers while reading the face of the "government" conservative camp.

The education authorities should immediately implement the promise they made with the people, they urged.

Earlier, teachers affiliated with the Union started demonstrations and sit-in strikes in demand of reinstatement of dismissed teachers on June 28.
