Announcement

The Korean Federation of Service Workers' Unions (KFSU)is calling for
international support for their struggle against an insidious form of
union busting at the Hotel Riviera in Daejeon City.

In the past, such support has been vital in getting governments and
companies to obey the law and to accept the rights of workers to form
unions.

Union members at the Hotel Riviera have been struggling since August
last year against the owners' contrived closure of the facility, which
the union has proven was carried out on fraudulent grounds in order to
close the facility long enough to break the union.

Their struggle is now at a crucial turning point. And your help is
needed -- right now.

The National Labour Relations Commission has ruled in favor of the
union's contention that the closure was a fake designed to break the
union. The owners should now reinstate all dismissed union members with
full back pay and resume normal operations. But Korean law is full of
loopholes.

Please write now to the President and Labour Minister of Korea,
demanding that they act to ensure the decision of the National Labour
Relations Commission is quickly and effectively implemented. Click here:

Please pass this message on -- let's build a huge international campaign
in support of our brothers and sisters in Korea and send a message to
employers everywhere.
