DESCRIPTION:Korean Railway Workers Strike\nJoin a member of the Korean Railroad Workers 
 Union (KRWU) who will be coming to San Francisco to report on their 
 union’s struggle to defend their jobs and to stop the privatization of 
 the railroad. Last December, over 8,000 railroad workers struck and won 
 tremendous support of the rest of the labor movement, including a 
 resolution from the San Francisco Labor Council, and the public in their 
 battle to stop privatization.\n\n The response of the Park regeme was to 
 raid the headquarters of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and 
 arrest union leaders. These actions resulted in a general strike.\n\n The 
 railroad workers temporarily stalled the privatization scheme, but they 
 continue to face trials. Also, their members are being individually sued. 
 \n\n The fired striking railway worker from the Korean Railway Workers 
 Union (KRWU) will be coming to the San Francisco Labor Council and two 
 films will be shown from their struggle:\n\nGlobal Solidarity With Korean 
 Railway Workers Union \nand \nKorean Railway Workers Union 2013 Struggle 
 Against Privatization.\n \nThe recent ferry disaster resulted in the deaths 
 of hundreds of young passengers and crewmembers. This was a direct result 
 of deregulation of their economy that comes with privatization. \n 
 Sponsored by San Francisco Labor Council. \nSee
