S. Korean Organizations Denounce Enterpriser Side
Pyongyang, June 11 (KCNA) -- The south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and organizations including the metal trade unions under it released a joint statement on June 5 denouncing the enterpriser side for pushing women workers to death.

The statement said that a woman worker of the Sam Sung Electronics company died of serious disease on June 2.

The company clarified that at least 50 women workers recently lost their lives due to industrial disasters, it noted.

The statement chided the enterpriser side for covering up bad working environment and not taking any measure talking about "business secret" despite the investigation result by a professional organ that cancer-causing substance created in the work process has huge adverse impact on human body.

It insisted that the business side should apologize to the victims and their bereaved families and clarify the state of the workers suffering from illness.

Blaming the incident on the "government" which shunned the miserable situation, the statement urged the authorities to take thorough measures to prevent the recurrence of such disasters.
