True Leading Force for Social Reformsand Cohesion with StrongGrassroots Power!

[ President‘s Message ]

2Federation of Korean Trade Unions

Dear Sisters and Brothers all over the World!

We all are facing the total crisis generated by the market fundamentalism. Social polarization has been almost

unrestorably worsening while the labour income share keeps declining and workers in non-standard forms of

employment are skyrocketing. The phenomenon of ‘Growth without Employment’ has driven billions of

young people into unemployment or exploitative situation by precarious employment, which makes the

brightness of our future fade away. Despite evident solutions to the crisis such as the creation of decent works,

reforms of the financial sector and expansion of the social security scheme, governments disregard those

lessons from financial and economic crisises but rather they are just echoing the voice of capital for low wage,

deregulation of labour and financial markets, free trades and privatization of public services.Meanwhile work-

ing families have despaired of decent life.

At such times, it is just we, working people, who can stop further polarization and guarantee ‘Just Transition’

and the sustainable growth. However retrogression of labour laws and government’s policies tilted in favour of

capital for decades have resulted in growing conflicts and tensions between regular and non-regular workers;

female and male workers; the young and the old; and even among trade unions. Then these strife and dishar-

mony have severly weakened the trade union movement. In order to overcome the crisis and to achieve the

social reforms, therefore, it is of uppermost importance to restore the trade unionmovement based on solidari-

ty and organizing.

FKTU!Towards

an Equal andWelfare Society

based on Unity ofWorkers!


To this end, the Federation of Korean Trade Unions(FKTU), the oldest and largest national center of trade

unions in Korea, strives to regain the prestige of Korean trade union movement based on unity at all levels.

Through this and strong grassroots labour movement, we can again become a pivotal figure to combine work-

ers‘ force into one, to carry over a proud tradition of Korean labour movement and to cope well with today’s

crisis. Furthermore those values only enable us to achieve the complete revision of ‘Trade Union and Labour

Relation Adjustment Act(TULRAA)’ of which current provisions seriously infringe on fundamental workers‘

rights and hinder trade union activities.

We alsomake every effort to organize workers, especially vulnerable workers and to repel themain causes of social

polarization such as non-standardization of employment, discrimination against non-regular workers and female

workers and so on.With continuous struggles as well as social dialogue, the FKTUdoes its best for increasing the

national minimum wage to a realistic level, improving social security system for the socially vulnerable as well as

workers, improving working conditions by reducing murderous long working hours.

Dear Sisters and Brothers!

Labour law reforms, organizing workers in non-standard forms of employment, eradicating all forms of dis-

crimination and protecting fundamental workers’ rights are your present tasks, too. Hence in order to success-

fully accomplish those tasks, solidarity and collaboration at the international level are very essential. Especially

today’s world in which capital flows are virtually unrestricted under the pretext of globalization and every

coner of the globe is affected by the climate change urgently requires solidarity of the international labour

movement.

Against this backdrop, we continue to strengthen our international policy capacity and to boost overseas

exchanges and international cooperation.While actively participating in international labour organizations at

all levels such as the ILO, the ITUC and the TUAC to OECD, we have delivered the voice of workers in

Korea and have made the important international labour agenda incorporated into domestic policies. The

FKTU also endeavours to expand its exchange programmes with national centers in other countries. By doing

so, our roles of labour diplomacy have been strengthening to resolve the current issues effectively together with

our international partners and accede to demands of workers all over the world for our solidarity actions.

Dear Sisters and Brothers

We always appreciate your strong solidarity towards working families in Korea. With your supports, the

FKTU can continue its all-out struggles to build an euqal, welfare and united society where fundamental

workers’ rights are fully guaranteed and labour is truly valued. I also promise that the FKTU will support and

join in your struggles to create the fair, just and sustainable world with labour being respected.Thank you very

much.

Leading Force for Social Reformswith Strong Grassroots PowerAs an oldest and largest organization of workers in Korea, the FKTU has made every effort in protecting workers andtheir families and making their voices heard. The full protection of workers’ rights is a prerequisite for socialadvancement and reforms. The FKTU, as a leading force of social reforms, values social dialogue and integrationunder the slogan of ’Social Reformist Trade Union Movement Supported by Workers and People’.However, our ultimate goal cannot be compromised. We have never ceased our struggles whenever workers‘ rightswere undermined or violated. Despite the patience and sacrifice for overcoming the recent economic crisis, workingpeople have been suffering from serious violations of fundamental workers’ rights, job insecurity, income disparityand social vulnerability due to retrogressive labour laws and labour market flexibility.Against the backdrop, the FKTU has continued all-out struggles for the complete revision of labour laws and fairersociety so that all working people can fully enjoy their basic rights and fair share of the economic fruits.
