The Battle for Workers’ Rights and Democracy in South Korea

The Battle for Workers’ Rights and Democracy in South Korea

On today's episode, Brian and Ju-Hyun Park discuss the rising tide of labor activism in South Korea demanding not only economic and social justice for workers, but also an expansion of democracy. Braving violent police repression, half a million workers in South Korea went on strike last week in a major show of force. The unfolding political and social struggles in South Korea will have a far-reaching impact not only for people on the Korean peninsula, but a major impact on regional politics

Ju-Hyun Park is a writer and member of Nodutdol for Korean Community Development.
