S. Korean Authorities' Abuse of Power under Fire
Pyongyang, April 30 (KCNA) -- The south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and the Federation of Trade Unions of south Korea held a press conference in front of the building of the Minimum Wage Committee on April 27 lashing out at the "government" authorities for their abuse of power.

At the conference the speakers accused the Ministry of Employment and Labor of unilaterally giving the post of a member of the committee in charge of the issue of minimum wage of workers to Kukmin Rochong.

The organization lost its qualifications as it is criticized for being "MB Rochong" after being cooked up by the "government" involvement.

They accused the "government" of using as a political lever the issues of improving the living standard of low-paid workers and eradicating bi-polarization of society by putting forward the above-said organization.

We will take counteractions against the power abuse by Lee Myung Bak and the minister of Employment and Labor, they warned.
