It expresses grave concerns over the oppression of trade union movement and the deterioration of workers’ rights in the country, especially over the retrogressive labour market reforms pushed ahead by the Government of Korea.
The Conference calls upon the Government of Korea, extending full support to Korean workers’ struggles to immediately stop the unilateral labour market reforms and endeavor to devise effect measures for promoting job security and social safety nets, to respect fundamental workers’ rights and stop oppression on trade unions, to cease illegitimate interference in industrial relations and guarantee voluntary negotiation between labour and management.
It also calls upon employers in Korea to participate in the dialogue and negotiations in a sincere manner on the pending issues and immediately stop the attempts to downgrade working conditions and unilateral lay-offs.
