This weekend proved to be a crazy time for Korean labor organizers as the KCTU and FKTU held a two day rally over the weekend. The Hankyoreh stated that over 50,000 people attended the rallies and the JoongAng Daily puts at it around 100,000 (with the FKTU providing 60,000).
In related news, the labor ministry has stated it will fine and blacklist any firms that go against the new labor laws when implemented in 2010. I guess government regulation on business is fine when it comes to attacking workers. It amazes me how hypocritical some of these policies are.
