As previously reported, class struggle in South Korea intensified late last year with massive protests by workers and increasing repression by the government. In the middle of this month, the Korean Teachers Union was deregistered as part of the government ongoing offensive against unions. An unusual ‘ghost’ protest was held in Seoul to protest the government’s attack on the right to demonstrate, while a 20,000 strong demonstration was also held protesting against government policies. Meanwhile, two Kia motor workers continue their aerial protest for secure jobs in central Seoul.
