As reported, the government has launched an investigation into illegal activities at construction sites, and is putting pressure on the labor world in all directions, including the issue of the union's accounting transparency and the allegation of espionage.

The labor world declared a struggle against the government leading to a May Day general uprising and a general strike in July.

the simultaneous seizure and search of the KCTU construction union, the construction union announced a struggle, saying it was illegal oppression.

After the sunset of the safe fare system, which triggered the general strike of the cargo unions last year, the government is pushing ahead with labor reform again this year.



Starting with the President's declaration of 'anti-corruption', the Ministry of Employment and Labor pursued a policy demanding transparency in union accounting, and the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport took issue with illegal activities at construction sites.



At the same time, the FTC accused the prosecution of saying that the cargo union cannot be seen as a union and judged it as a business operator, and at the same time, a plan to replace the safe fare system with a standard fare system, which the cargo union opposes, was revealed.



On top of that, when the headquarters of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions was seized and searched on charges of espionage, the labor world decided to confront it with a general strike.

The Federation of Korean Trade Unions, whose three affiliated branches were seized and searched, is also planning to decide the method of struggle through a delegate meeting next month.



As the labor-governmental conflict escalates to rivers, it seems that it will become more difficult to find a point of contact over various issues such as labor reform.
