We are setting a precedent for tech workers across the country. Every tech worker deserves a union – now more than ever.

GENERAL STRIKE ANNOUNCED

Trade union confederation announces general strike

The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) has announced a general strike in response to Yoon’s declaration of martial law and called for the president to resign, according to Korean media.

“We will go on an indefinite general strike until the Yoon administration steps down,” the union said in a statement.

The union drew a connection to the martial law order and previous efforts by military forces to undermine democracy, which often included attacks on organised labour.

“Martial law was the means chosen by Park Chung-hee, Chun Doo-hwan, and the military dictatorship to destroy democracy and human rights in order to extend their power,” KCTU said

"By tricking you into thinking of yourself as a "consumer" who benefits from low prices, they get you to stop thinking of yourself as a worker who suffers from low wages."

The last election was lost to consumers, not citizens. @pluralistic calls to unionize for a general (heck, global) strike in 2028. We desperately need one to break the backs of big tech/business robber barons. We probably needed it yesterday.

"What’s really remarkable about the first night of the convention has been the full-throated embrace of labor unions at the convention, with the heads of several important unions making appearances on stage and Shawn Fain of the UAW knocking it out of the park with this t-shirt …."
