In front of the Employment and Labor Office in Jung-gu, Seoul, two workers were taken to the police station after a clash with the police at a memorial rally for workers in a serious accident.
The Namdaemun Police Station in Seoul announced today (19th) that it is investigating today (19th) that two men, who are members of the KCTU, were arrested on charges of obstructing the execution of police duties just before the rally scheduled for 2pm on the 19th.
The men are accused of breaking a control line laid by the police and using violence at a police officer at the scene to control the assembly.
The union planned to set up a stage in front of the Seoul Employment and Labor Office and march to the Blue House holding the statues of 344 workers who died from industrial accidents this year.
However, as the police blocked the assembly due to concerns about the corona19 infection, it is said that a control line was installed around the stage with police buses, etc.
