Recently,
the Park Geun Hye regime of south Korea is pushing ahead with the introduction
of the system of paying salaries according to piece rate. Workers and other people
of various circles in south Korea are staging broad-based actions against it.
On June
18 the south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and the Federation of Trade
Unions of south Korea sponsored a meeting of 100 000 financial and public
workers for pledging an all-out action in Seoul. There, they strongly denounced
the regime for working hard to reduce the workers to slaves of money and power
and pass the buck for its failed economic policy and the deteriorated people's
living to them by introducing the above-said system. They launched a
large-scale anti-"government" action under the slogan "Let's put
an end to the oppressive and dictatorial regime!"
They
had already staged a series of actions including a meeting for pledging a
protest against the regime, group hair cutting and meetings of workers of trade
unions of various industrial sectors.
They
declared at the meeting that they would go on a general strike of 400 000
workers in case Chief Executive Park Geun Hye fails to retract the above-said
introduction plan.
The
Central Committee of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea said in a
statement on Saturday:
The
south Korean workers' actions are an eruption of the pent-up curse and anger of
south Koreans of various circles at traitor Park and their stern punishment of
her who has mercilessly abused even the elementary right to existence of the
popular masses, not content with turning
south Korea into a veritable hell through outrageous fascist
dictatorship and unpopular rule.
The
above-said system which Park is working with bloodshot eyes to introduce is, in
fact, the most inhumane and unpopular modern-day slavery system that legalizes
and justifies the harsh exploitation and maltreatment of workers. This is clear
evidence proving Park-style twisted "outlook on economy and value."
By
origin, Park is a thrice-cursed enemy with whom the toiling people can never
live together as she is "a princess of yusin" steeped in
pro-privileged concept to the marrow of her bones.
Park is
asserting that the introduction of the above-said system is "badly needed
to achieve an economic boom." But lurking behind it is her ulterior design
to get rid of the economic crisis caused by her by sacrificing the workers.
It is a
stark fact recognized by everyone that corrupt and ignorant Park has plunged
the south Korean economy into a bottomless pitfall of crisis.
It is
the mindset of the south Korean public that the system should be applied to
Park first to punish her as she is being branded as the "one who
registered no success" during her tenure of office in case the system
comes in force.
All
workers of south Korea should not step back even an inch in their death-defying
struggle, the confrontation between justice and injustice, but overthrow the
Park regime, the source of all evils, before anything else if they want to
protect their rights to existence and work.
All
workers in the DPRK will sincerely and positively support the just struggle of
the south Korean workers who determinedly rose up against the Park regime's
unpopular dictatorial rule in order to defend their genuine democratic rights
and right to existence.
