The
Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) was
established on 11 November 1995. From 11 to 14 November, I participated in the
KCTU’s 20 year anniversary International Seminar on ‘Global Workers’ Struggle
against Labour Rights Deterioration in the Era of Crisis’ in Seoul/South Korea.
The seminar did not only include two days of discussions, but also the official
anniversary ceremony, an excursion to the Park of Worker Martyrs as well as
participation in the large demonstration against labour market restructuring on
14 November. In this blog post, I will reflect on workers’ struggle against
restructuring in South Korea and its connections with global developments.
