In South Korea there are around 250,000 workers in the education sector who perform vital support functions but are not recognised as part of the mainstream teaching staff. This means that they do not have a collective agreement and are employed on contract, short term or casual bases. Following on from their successful first ever strike in November 2012, last week on the 22 of June, tens of thousands of education workers held another strike and march to demand their rights. Precarious employment is used all around the world to weaken our movement.
