KCTU Declares General Strike
Pyongyang, April 11 (KCNA) -- The south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) held a meeting in Seoul on April 8 and declared a general strike demanding wage hike and stable employment of cleaning and guard workers.

Speakers at the meeting said the political circle including the "Saenuri Party" passively approached the issue of increasing the lowest wage of workers and that Park Geun Hye should be paid the lowest wage, to begin with.

They called on all workers and those involved in cleaning and guard to get united in one mind and overthrow the Park Geun Hye regime through the general strike.

A resolution was read out at the meeting.
