Battle At SF Korean Consulate "Hands Off Korean Workers"
Workers and activists in support of the Korean Railway Workers Union rallied at the San Francisco Korean Consulate. The government mobilized a counter-demonstration of retired Korean military veterans and elderly pro-government women to harass and attack the solidarity rally. They failed and the rally took place.
Battle At SF Korean Consulate "Hands Off Korean Workers"
A solidarity rally was held at the San Francisco Korean consulate
on January 17, 2014 to show support the Korean Railway
Workers Union KRWU and the call by the Korean Confederation of
Trade Union KCTU for a general strike against union busting and
plans to privatize the KORAIL public rail system. The Korean
government organized a counter-protest with retired Korean
military staff and elderly Korean women Despite their effort to
physically assault the solidarity rally they failed. The rally was
supported by the Transport Workers Solidarity Committee
TWSC, rank and file from AFT 2121 of San Francisco City College,
ATU 1555 BART workers and APWU postal workers.
