DESCRIPTION:Bay Area Labor Action Coalition Forum & Video  The General Strike In Korea 
 Against Part Time/Temporary Work  &  The Fight For Union Democracy and 
 Against Privatization in The Korea & The US  Sunday December 18, 2005 3:00 
 PM  Fellowship Of Humanity  390 27th St./Broadway Oakland  Donation 
 requested $3.00  On December 1, 2005, 60,000 members of the Korean 
 Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) launched a 9 day general strike 
 against casualization/temporary work in Korea.   
 http://www.todayonline.com/articles/87702.asp  More than 50% of the workers 
 in Korea are part time and like in the US, these temporary workers have no 
 benefits, healthcare and pensions. This strike puts a critical focus on the 
 problem of temporary and part time workers who face the same problems 
 around the world.  The San Francisco Labor Council, AFT 2121, ILWU Local 10 
 and other unions have passed resolutions supporting this initiative. This 
 forum will   discuss these issues and we also will screen the important 
 Korean labor film  "On The Right Track". This film shows the struggle for 
 democratic control by the Korean railway workers and their successful fight 
 against the privatization of the Korean railway system.  The workers were 
 able to take control of their union and also launch an important national 
 fight against privatization. This has many lessons for working people in 
 the United States.  The Bay Area Labor Action Coalition fights for 
 democratic unions, against labor-management partnerships and for a 
 democratic workers party that will opposed deregulation, privatization and 
 outsourcing of our jobs. We also support labor action against the war in 
 Iraq.  For More Information Contact:  (415)867-0628, (415)786-7530
