The Struggle Against the Privatization of S. Korean Railroads & the Suppression of Unions
Public Forum by the Bay Area Transport Workers Solidarity
Committee. In December 2013 over 4,000 Korean railway workers of KORAIL went on
strike to stop privatization. The Park government suspended the railway workers
and sough to arrest the leaders. They also used the military to raid the
offices of he Korean Confederation of Trade Unions KCTU. On December 31, the
KRWU railroad workers returned to work with a promise that there would be a
government legislative investigation about the privatization of the public
railways. At the same time the government continues to seek the arrest of the
union leaders.
