South Korean workers take over streets in protests at new labour laws

As reported last week, the Korean labour movement launched a series of strikes, action and demonstrations against the current exploitative practices that companies are using against workers and new proposed labour laws that the government wants to introduce. The strikes and demonstrations have been massive, occurring throughout South Korea with tens of thousands of workers taking part from both the private and public sectors. Actions will continue next week, culminating in a major rally for May Day on Friday.
