#korea President #YoonSukYeol vows to focus on attacking workers rights in New Years speech.
We already know about the plans to attack international labour conventions which allow workers the right to organise, and his proposed reforms aimed at increasing worker insecurity, hours, and reducing pay.
But he also vowed to attack the pension and education systems. Not sure what "reforms" he imagines there but it can't be good...

Yesterday, a delegation from #CandleLightMovement visited the TruckSol (truckers union) camp in front of the National Assembly where they are on the 11th day of their #HungerStrike
Student movement member: "We will fight together so that the workers' struggle will not be lonely!"
TruckSol: "How can I be lonely when you come here like this?"
Solidarity is the key to victory. #YoonSukYeol resignation is not far away!
