We have just now received a report that the government is attempting to shut down the website of the Korean power workers, located at http://baljeon.nodng.net (in Korean only). The Korean progressive network, Jinbonet, has coverage in English of these developments, here:

There is full coverage of all these developments on the website of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) -- http://www.kctu.org -- and on LabourStart's Korean news page (in English) -- http://www.labourstart.org/korea/

Please forward this message to other trade union and progressive lists. Spread the word!
