Here's korean police raiding a morgue in 1991 so they could snatch the body of Park Chang-Su, a union organiser who was torrtured to death in the custody of south korean secret police, in a successful attempt to prevent an autopsy from being conducted. No murder charges were ever filed.

The torturers, murderers and election riggers over at the korean secret police / KCIA try to keep themselves relevant by union-busting in an era when they are increasingly being viewed as obsolete.

Trampling on unions may just be a political ploy to save themselves from losing their powers of investigation to normal, civilian, police who aren't allowed to torture people, forget documents, rig elctions, and steal money, or operate in darkness.

The recent 16-day truck drivers' strike in South Korea exposed the role of the country's pseudo-left organisations, which serve as apologists for the pro-Democratic Party unions and block the development of an independent movement of the working class.

Monday is the fifth day of a strike by thousands of South Korean truck drivers, which is having a significant impact on big business. The drivers are demanding improved safety conditions and delivery fares in the face of threats from the government and the ruling class.
