This month has seen an unprecedented political crisis engulf the government of South Korea. Last week, one million people took part in a demonstration in central Seoul calling on President Park Geun-hye to step down due to the influence-peddling scandal involving her confidant Choi Soon-sil. The administration of Park Geun-hye has been relentless in its attacks against workers in the last couple of years, see here and here. Workers have fought back with massive mobilisations of hundreds of thousands of people throughout the country. Korean workers are continuing to mobilise against the government. Korean unions have now called for a new general strike for the 30th of November to try and force the resignation of the President.
