General Strike against Anti-Worker Policy Declared in S. Korea
Pyongyang, October 31 (KCNA) -- The Public Health and Medical Trade Union of south Korea held a meeting in Seoul on Oct. 29 to declare an action against the authorities' anti-worker policy and for workers' rights to existence.

The organization accused the regime of working hard to retrogressively revise the structure of labor market in the field of healthcare and at public institutions across south Korea by an illegal way.

It would call a general strike against the regime's anti-worker policy, it stressed.

Leading members of the organization had their hair cut short in protest against the authorities' retrogressive revision of the structure of labor market.

A resolution was read out there.

It said that the authorities' retrogressive revision of the structure of the labor mark is a great disaster as it worsens the situation of employment and payment, labor conditions and labor-management relations.

The "measure for normalizing public organizations" serves as means for havocking the public nature of healthcare and threatening the workers' rights to existence.
