DESCRIPTION:Hundreds of thousands of Korean workers are striking Feb. 25 to defend the 
 basic right to organize unions and their right to strike. \n\nIn December, 
 members of the Korean Railway Workers Union organized a 22-day strike 
 against KORAIL moves to privatize the state-owned company. The rightwing 
 government of Park Geun-hye sent a battalion of some 5,000 police to 
 surround headquarters of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions 
 and\narrested 138 unionists. Rail workers were fired and their union fined 
 millions of dollars with charges of “obstructing business”. The 
 5,000,000 member International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) is 
 supporting the actions of the Korean workers. We, and workers around the 
 world, stand in solidarity\nwith the Korean workers.\n\nWe demand:\n\n1) 
 Free all jailed Korean workers\n2) No reprisals, rehire fired 
 workers,\ndrop the charges and the fines\n3) Stop government repression 
 against\nunions\n4) Defend the right to strike and 
 stop\nprivatization\n\nJOIN THE SOLIDARITY DEMONSTRATION!\nBring your union 
 banners\n\nWHERE: Korean Consulate, San Francisco\n3500 Clay St., at Laurel
